Retiring on Purpose: A Conversation about Making This the Most Meaningful Stage of Life Yet
Retiring with a Purpose
“I have seen far too many retirees adrift on a sea of aimlessness, boredom, and discontentment. They found their freedom from the old job and the old routines but didn’t sufficiently contemplate what that freedom could lead them toward.
“There is an entire generation of people arising who have decided to make the “third age” of life the most meaningful. This group understands the habits, attitudes, and pursuits that directly correlate with successful aging and staying young at heart. Words like curiosity, connectivity, challenge, and contributing are hallmarks of a new generation of retirees, who are transforming ‘retiring’ into ‘refiring’ and ‘reclining’ into ‘refining.’ These people are leaving an indelible impact on the people, the ideas, and the causes they care most about.”
