Building Blocks for the New Retirement (okładka  miękka)

Joan Tabb is reinvigorating the retirement paradigm to reflect today's healthier and longer lives. She's even given a name to this new stage of life, going from Retirement to ReVitalment. Why? Many of us who complete our primary careers still have decades of healthy, potentially productive years ahead. Of the 100 people close to or in retirement that Joan interviewed for this book, she found that 95 of them did not relate to the word 'retirement'. They felt that retirement connotes being out of the mainstream, being ineffective and on the sidelines. Yet they felt ready for more; more living, more contribution, more involvement. In an instructive, attractive, practical, workbook formatted, friendly style, Joan Tabb is on mission to bring the best of us to this new stage of life. Building Blocks for the New Retirement guides us from the inside-out, in a reflective way to design a life where we can channel our energies into opportunities for meaning, purpose and fun. It answers the question: How do you best use your gifts of time and energy?
