Overview

"Reinventing Yourself in Your Retirement Years: Find Joy, Excitement, and Purpose After You Retire offers a detailed guide for retirees, those soon to retire, baby boomers, and seniors to reinvent themselves in this new stage of their lives: retirement. Not a one-size-fits-all approach, it highlights how each individual can identify and locate gratifying activities and pursuits based on their own interests and comfort level. The author learned the secret the hard way and finally transitioned from retired probation officer to actress, author, public speaker, and blogger. Audience members at her lectures on senior reinvention began requesting a book on the subject. This is the result, and it contains the content of those talks as well as six years of posts from her free blog which is titled the same as this book. Patricia Keith-Spiegel, PhD, Professor of Psychology, wrote the foreword to the book in which she states, ""The first eight chapters set the stage for postretirement and offer a myriad of activities that are wide open for seniors, most of which offer new ways to discover fulfillment, pleasure, and purpose. The last chapter is a long one, consisting of a collection of remarkable short essays from her online blog, Reinventing Yourself in Your Retirement Years...These stories are best described as an interplay between you and the author and should be contemplated and savored before moving on to the next entry. You will have much to learn about yourself, and you will be the better for it."""
