Synopsis
To make the most of our retirement we need forethought, planning and, above all, a copy of this book.
Too many of us are inclined to switch into neutral gear as we leave full-time employment behind us. But that can be both wasteful and destructive. It's no longer three score years and ten we're aiming at, but four score years and more of active and productive life. There's an exciting landscape out there wafting for us in Our Freedom Years but on the way there is also the tricky transition between the familiar world of work and the challenges and rewards of retirement.
The Freedom Years shows how to take stock of the vast array of opportunities that are open to us from no on. It questions the stereotypes surrounding retirement and offers advice on how to ease ourselves through this crucial life change. With cartoons by Frank Dickens, The Freedom Years carries a wealth of inspirational, practical and fun advice on growing older healthily, meaningfully, productively and gracefully (or even a little disgracefully if we prefer it). Face the challenge, overcome the difficulties that confront us, and make the most of the Freedom Years.
