Are You Ready for The NEW Life (Part 2)?

The second season of Life (Part 2) fearlessly takes on the issues facing today's generation of 50-plus baby boomers. It is fueled by the tough-minded journalistic instincts of new host, former New York Times columnist Robert Lipsyte. Boomers are the best-educated, healthiest, most privileged generation in American history, and Life (Part 2) explores the ways they are re-inventing aging. Can the generation that came of age so memorably in the tumultuous 1960s, bring the same energy and inventiveness to the very real challenges of aging Americans? Through a combination of roundtable discussions; on-location field pieces; one-on-one interviews with celebrities and leading thinkers; and provocative video essays from best-selling authors and commentators, Life (Part 2) addresses topics ranging from "encore" careers, to boomer marriages, care-giving, finances, the new face of Alzheimer's, dating in mid-life, plastic surgery, and fighting ageism. Guests this season include Martha Stewart, Mike Huckabee, Billie Jean King, Phil Donahue, and former Planned Parenthood head Faye Wattleton, as well as performers such as David Hyde Pierce, Joy Behar, and Evan Handler--plus bestselling authors Nelson Demille and Gail Sheehy, as well as former poet laureate Billy Collins.
