Product Description
80% plan to work after retirement … here’s the guide you need. A recent AARP survey found that 80% of baby boomers plan to continue working in some form past the age of 65—either for the money or for the fun of it. Today’s retirees are looking for work situations that are mentally and emotionally rewarding. The problem is that many are not sure how to find them. This new edition helps you define what kind of work is best suited for your passions and interests, and guides them through the process of obtaining such work—whether it’s a part-time job, volunteer work, or a second career.
—Combines practical advice with stories and lessons of real-life retirees
—Covers hot-button topics that have become closely intertwined with the idea of rewiring—non- work activities, financial planning, workplace flexibility, work and family balance, and the nurturing of professional and personal relationships.

Reader Reviews
I haven't read them all, but from Armstrong to Zelinski, I've read probably 20+ books on retirement, especially the life planning aspects. This is one of the best. I always review the reviews, and after reading the 3 5 star reviews, all written the month the book came out, I almost passed thinking they were probably done by the authors' or editors' colleagues or friends. (I'm in no way affiliated with this book.) Anyway, I'm really glad I clicked the buy button in my personal lightening deals that day. The authors have long been headhunters (my interpretation of the jacket blurb), so know well the ins and outs of the workplace and what it takes to be competitive. They lead you through identifying what makes you get up in the morning, offer exercises to uncover dreams and interests that might form the basis for fulfillment in retirement, give a lot of helpful tips on researching and choosing a course, and illustrate it all with examples from their practice. I'd love to work with this pair in person. Very practical, engagingly written, well-referenced.
