Book excerpt: Plan for retirement with confidence and ease, using this essential guide for envisioning and creating a post-work life filled with meaning and purpose Retirement is more than the absence of work—it’s a different way of life requiring new vision, new purpose, and new life perspectives. You see, retirement is too important to leave to luck or circumstance; we have to plan and make them happen—our way. Your bridge to the “other side of work,” Retirement: Different By Design presents two dynamic and innovative templates for moving seamlessly into retirement and beyond—“Retirement’s Ages and Stages” and “Retirement’s Six Fundamental Building Blocks.” Providing practical strategies and answers, not more questions, each chapter delivers insights, tools, narratives, and models for making retirement the best years of the rest of our lives. And, it’s not always about the money. Indeed, we all can live socially rich, emotionally balanced, intellectually nourishing, healthful, and physically active retirements no matter the size of our bank accounts—this is the new retirement reality that Retirement: Different By Design offers the soon-to-be and the already retired. RETIREMENT’S SIX FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCKS • Physical and Emotional Health and Well-Being • Financial Security and Continuity • Life Transition and Acceptance • Intergenerational Life Engagement • Intellectual and Physical Pursuits, Interests, and Activities • Spirituality, Meaning, Family, and Legacy “Any book on retirement planning that does not begin with a discussion of money is off to a good start, at least to our thinking. And so it is with Retirement: Different by Design.” —The Wall Street Journal
