A chapter in your life is drawing to a close. The Golden Years of retirement lie ahead, but the idea of a 'retiring life' doesn't inspire your vision of a fulfilling life. What will a life of meaning, purpose and passion look like as you enter this 'Third Act' of life? Aging Reimagined provides a guide for exploring these questions.

Think of it as the most significant social story of our time: We are witnessing the arrival of a whole new stage of life. Today we're seeing people reach what used to be the ''age of retirement'' and convert it into the ''age of possibilities.'' The authors call it ''Life Reimagined.'' What those two words suggest is a new stage of life and-perhaps more importantly - a new way of thinking about life and living. At its core, Life Reimagined calls on each of us to engage life with a profound sense of what is possible, what is desirable, and what is personally meaningful. One of the profound truths that under lies Life Reimagined is the liberating notion that ''each of us is an experiment of one'': in other words, each of us is free to find our own way forward on this journey of discovery. But another truth is that there is a set of six practices-ways of engaging with Life Reimagined-that can help each of us find that way forward. The six practices are: Reflect, Connect, Explore, Choose, Repack, and, Act. Life Reimagined offers the opportunity for each of us to grow - not just older, but grow more whole, more healthy, and more uniquely ourselves.

“A guide for planning that rich season of life, based not just on money, but also on how to create meaningful relationships, memories, and legacy.” —Dan Miller, author of 48 Days to the Work You Love Rock Retirement offers inspirational advice on how to enjoy the journey to retirement to its fullest. Traditional retirement advice usually boils down to saving more, sacrificing more, and settling for less. This approach makes people dependent on systems outside their control, such as the market, economy, and investment returns. The result: people lose power over determining their life. What sets Rock Retirement apart is its holistic approach to helping people take back control and act intentionally towards the life they want. It addresses the fears, hopes, and dreams that people have about retirement, goes way beyond the numbers, and shows them how to balance living well today and tomorrow. “Too many books think retirement is just about finances. Instead, retirement is about looking at life in full and working out what it is you want to do and then turning to finances to make it happen. That’s exactly the focus of the practical and helpful guide.” —Andrew Scott, coauthor of The 100-Year Life “Roger Whitney lays out a plan for today’s modern retiree. If you are exhausted with being fed that retirement is the end game of life, then Roger’s book is a must-read!” —Darryl W. Lyons, author of 18 to 80 “If you’re dreaming of a retirement free of worry, chao and confusion, Rock Retirement will give you the clarity, a solid plan and fresh inspiration to help you get where you want to go.” —Jevonnah “Lady J” Ellison, author of Love Letters for Leading Ladies

Retirement today is a lot more complex than the retirement of our parents and grandparents. Our expectations for what we want out of life are different from previous generations. We see more possibilities, but we also face more pitfalls and hurdles. We want to not only live longer but live better. We want to enjoy today but must prepare for many tomorrows. We don't want our lives to stop now that our careers no longer define us. We feel capable of doing so many things with our time and life experience. We don't see why we should not keep pushing ahead by learning and experiencing new things and challenging ourselves to keep growing, rather than just wilting away with diminished expectations. Whether you are newly retired or simply in the early stages of planning, the possibilities for what you want to do in the future are endless. As our choices have expanded, we are often left more confused and stressed. More choices imply more decisions and responsibility but Eric J. Weigel shows that the solution to finding joy and fulfillment in the sea of complexity and confusion that characterizes today's retirement world is to start with what you want and then work backward. It involves becoming completely clear about your vision for your Future Self-who you want to be, what you aspire to, and what type of life you want to lead, all in alignment with your core values and beliefs. The clearer you are about your Future Self, the less distracted you'll be with today's complex and endless options. You'll know where you want to go and plan accordingly. You'll deal with today's complexity and the vast range of choices by, ironically, rejecting the majority of possible paths you could take. Your focus will be your strength. In this book, you'll learn how to formulate the vision of your Future Self by combining your values, beliefs, aspirations, and purpose for why this is your chosen destiny. Your Future Self answers your what and why. Along with your vision of your Future Self, you'll need a system for creating the change you want. The 9 Keys to True Wealth encapsulated in the NET WEALTH system cover all major areas of your life. It starts with the traditional drivers of retirement planning-where you live (your NEST), your money situation (EARNINGS), and how you spend your TIME. It then focuses on the other areas of your life that can truly turbo-charge your happiness and fulfillment: sharing your knowledge and experience (WORK), regulating your emotions (EMOTIONAL ENERGY), pursuing meaningful goals (ACHIEVEMENTS), growing spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually (LEARNING), remaining engaged deeply in the lives of family and friends (TRIBE), and staying physically and mentally fit (HEALTH). By designing your own version of your Future Self and adopting the NET WEALTH system you will make more informed and intentional decisions. You'll turn lack of clarity, indecision, and uncertainty into a vision for your life and give you actionable steps for finding happiness and fulfillment. This book is for you if you are ready to take control of a future that: Transforms you from where you are today to where you want to go Unlocks possibilities rather than constraints Looks beyond money Brings joy and fulfillment to your life

DISCOVER WHAT YOU'RE HERE TO DO It's the end of work as we know it. Career paths look nothing like they did in the days before phones got smart. We work more hours at more jobs for more years than ever before. So it's vital that we know how to find work that allows us to remain true to who we are in the deepest sense, work that connects us to something larger than ourselves—in short, our “calling.” We all have one, and bestselling authors Richard Leider and David Shapiro can help you uncover yours. Through a unique Calling Card exercise that features a guided exploration of fifty-two “natural preferences” (such as Advancing Ideas, Doing the Numbers, Building Relationships, and Performing Events), Leider and Shapiro give us a new way to uncover our gifts, passions, and values and find work that expresses them. Along the way, they mix in dozens of inspiring true stories about people who have found, or are in the process of finding, their own callings. Uncovering your calling enables you to experience fulfillment in all aspects and phases of your life. And here's the even better news: you'll never have to work again. When you choose to do what you are called to do, you're always doing what you want to do. Work Reimagined offers an enlightening, effective, and entertaining approach to discovering what you were born to do, no matter your age or stage of life.
