Download or read book Rock Retirement written by Roger Whitney and published by Morgan James Publishing. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A guide for planning that rich season of life, based not just on money, but also on how to create meaningful relationships, memories, and legacy.” —Dan Miller, author of 48 Days to the Work You Love Rock Retirement offers inspirational advice on how to enjoy the journey to retirement to its fullest. Traditional retirement advice usually boils down to saving more, sacrificing more, and settling for less. This approach makes people dependent on systems outside their control, such as the market, economy, and investment returns. The result: people lose power over determining their life. What sets Rock Retirement apart is its holistic approach to helping people take back control and act intentionally towards the life they want. It addresses the fears, hopes, and dreams that people have about retirement, goes way beyond the numbers, and shows them how to balance living well today and tomorrow. “Too many books think retirement is just about finances. Instead, retirement is about looking at life in full and working out what it is you want to do and then turning to finances to make it happen. That’s exactly the focus of the practical and helpful guide.” —Andrew Scott, coauthor of The 100-Year Life “Roger Whitney lays out a plan for today’s modern retiree. If you are exhausted with being fed that retirement is the end game of life, then Roger’s book is a must-read!” —Darryl W. Lyons, author of 18 to 80 “If you’re dreaming of a retirement free of worry, chao and confusion, Rock Retirement will give you the clarity, a solid plan and fresh inspiration to help you get where you want to go.” —Jevonnah “Lady J” Ellison, author of Love Letters for Leading Ladies
Download or read book Ready to Retire written by Lyndsay Green and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ready to Retire? What You and Your Spouse Need to Know About The New Reality of Retirement Conceived and written for those about to retire - or already in retirement and the women (and men) who live with them. Ready to Retire? helps people understand what they and their partners are going through as they meet the new reality of life beyond the workplace. Cultural messaging has traditionally reinforced the idea of the man as bread winner and men have a particularly hard time making the retirement adjustment as they so often completely self-identify with their work. In light of this cultural trend, bestselling author and sociologist Lyndsay Green sets out to demystify retirement for men and their partners, and provides an engaging and uplifting portrait of the emotional landscape of men in their sixties and seventies. While most books on this subject focus on finances, Lyndsay Green writes more about the psychological implications of retirement. More descriptive than instructional, the book is based on interviews with over sixty people, from age 56 to 88, living in cities, small towns and rural areas. In spite of the fact that many men have a deep-rooted fear about retirement, and that so often their spouses can be baffled by their inability to express those fears and needs, Lyndsay Green discovered that the story of men’s retirement is mostly one of adjustment, revitalization and reinvention. Ready to Retire? is an inspiring portrait of the emotional lives of men who have retired or are considering retirement, and the women (and men) they live with.

Download or read book Discover the Right Retirement for You written by Joseph "Jay" Totter and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What comes to mind when you think of retirement? An age? A date? A budget? Do you regard it as a reward for work well done or the inevitable end of a life well lived? What do you envision doing once you are no longer working? If any of these questions seem daunting, this is the book for you. The author, an experienced and skilled human resources administrator, frequently encountered individuals who had not done any retirement planning beyond selecting a date and estimating a budget. He also discovered how limited the retirement literature was with most of it focused on the financial aspects to the exclusion of a myriad of other factors that go into creating a satisfying retirement. Thus began a two-year journey of research and writing to create Discover the Right Retirement for You, the most comprehensive guide to retirement planning currently available. Carefully crafted to be used by the 44 million Baby Boomers who are retiring at the astonishing rate of 10,000 each day, this remarkable resource contains comprehensive information written in comprehendible language about the many components of retirement and connects the reader to others like themselves. It is a reference book with facts and figures, a workbook with worksheets for self-inventory and reflection, and a storybook with anecdotes about retirement expectations and experiences. Distilled from extensive interviews with people just like you, Discover the Right Retirement for You invites you to explore retirement from such diverse perspectives as its effect on your health, self-image, and family, while also addressing the financial aspects. Whether retirement is right around the corner or a few years away, this is the guidebook you need to create the right retirement for you.
Download or read book The Last Lecture written by Randy Pausch and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot of professors give talks titled 'The Last Lecture'. Professors are asked to consider their demise and to ruminate on what matters most to them: What wisdom would we impart to the world if we knew it was our last chance? If we had to vanish tomorrow, what would we want as our legacy? When Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, was asked to give such a lecture, he didn't have to imagine it as his last, since he had recently been diagnosed with terminal cancer. But the lecture he gave, 'Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams', wasnt about dying. It was about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think). It was a summation of everything Randy had come to believe. It was about living. In this book, Randy Pausch has combined the humour, inspiration, and intelligence that made his lecture such a phenomenon and given it an indelible form. It is a book that will be shared for generations to come.

Book excerpt: 2022 NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS FINALIST — SOCIAL/POLITICAL CHANGE • 2022 ASJA ANNUAL WRITING AWARD WINNER — SERVICE • 2022 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS GOLD MEDALIST — SOCIAL CHANGE & SOCIAL JUSTICE • 2022 AXIOM BUSINESS BOOK AWARD GOLD MEDALIST — PHILANTHROPY/NONPROFIT/SUSTAINABILITY How do we vote with our dollars, not just to make ourselves feel good, but to make a real difference? Wallet Activism challenges you to rethink your financial power so can feel confident spending, earning, and saving money in ways that align with your values. While we call the American system a democracy, capitalism is the far more powerful force in our lives. The greatest power we have—especially when political leaders won’t move quickly enough—is how we use our money: where we shop, what we buy, where we live, what institutions we entrust with our money, who we work for, and where we donate determines the trajectory of our society and our planet. While our votes and voices are essential, too, Wallet Activism helps you use your money for real impact. It can feel overwhelming to determine “the right way” to spend: a choice that might seem beneficial to the environment may have unintended consequences that hurt people. And marketers are constantly lying to you, making it hard to know what choice is best. Wallet Activism empowers us to vote with our wallets by making sense of all the information coming at us, and teaching us to cultivate a more holistic mindset that considers the complex, interrelated ecosystems of people and the planet together, not as opposing forces. From Tanja Hester, Our Next Life blogger and author of Work Optional, comes the mindset-shifting guide to help you put your money where your values are. Wallet Activism is not a list of dos and don’ts that will soon become outdated, nor does it call for anti-consumerist perfection. Instead, it goes beyond simple purchasing decisions to explore: The impacts a financial decision can have across society and the environment How to create a personal spending philosophy based on your values Practical questions to quickly assess the “goodness” of a product or an entity you may buy from The ethics of earning money, choosing what foods to eat, employing others, investing responsibly, choosing where to live, and giving money away For anyone interested in leaving the world better than you found it, Wallet Activism helps you build habits that will make your money matter.

Download or read book Finding Your Purpose When You Retire written by L. Richard Bradley PH.D. and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine that you are an ancient mariner standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean at sunrise. You are staring at the “edge,” the place where the ocean and the sky meet, and wondering, What lies beyond? Your answer would have been “Thar be dragons.” Using this analogy, imagine you are about to retire or have recently retired and wondering, What’s out there? What do I do now? Buy that new sports car, take a long vacation, play golf or fish every day, or try to continue working? What’s going to get me up in the morning, excited to have another day? Is there a purpose for my life? If so, how do I find it? There is a lot of information about the financial and medical aspects of retirement but very little about the emotional and spiritual impacts of retiring. Retirement is a major life transition, which changes everything about how you think about yourself. One day, your identity is defined by what you do for a living; the next day, that identity is gone. You may feel lost, as if “the rug has been pulled out from underneath you.” Who are we now? The good news is this feeling is normal; you are not going crazy. It is part of the normal life cycle. Another piece of good news: using a process known as guided journaling, you will better understand how you got to where you are in your life today and then create your own, personal, “best fit” retirement—one that gets you up every morning, excited for another day to live and serve others, Finding Your Purpose When You Retire
