What Retirement Really Is… 

Coming soon.. work in progress.

Retirement was supposed to be the reward.

After 38 years in a career I loved, I walked out of my office expecting to feel free.
Instead, I felt lost.

The years that followed were nothing like I expected. I tried to recreate my working life.
I searched for purpose: I got seriously ill. I tried volunteering, golf, new interests and eventually found my way into creativity, self-awareness and a very different way of looking at my life.

Some of it worked, a lot of it didn’t.

This book is about those years and what they taught me about retirement, getting older, finding your way when you feel lost, and making the most of the time we have left.

When I retired, I kept asking myself, “What am I going to do with the rest of my life?”

Ten years later, I’m asking a much better question, “How do I want to live it?”
