Launch Your Encore: Finding Adventure and Purpose Later in Life by Hans Finzel and Rick Hicks1/15/2018 In 2011, the first of the 76 million baby boomers--nearly a quarter of the US population--began turning 65. Every day for the next fifteen years, over ten thousand of them will celebrate that birthday. And for the first time in history, this generation will enjoy many years post-career pursing meaning and purpose outside of traditional retirement. What will they do with that time? One thing is for sure: most of them want to find something meaningful. This book lays out the choices to be made to find fulfillment in the encore years of life. Launch Your Encore is a game plan for life after one's main-act career. Hans Finzel and Rick Hicks show boomers how to enter this new stage of life poised for personal satisfaction and contributions to society. They offer tested advice on finding new life potential and thriving in these later decades of life. With real-life examples of people who have made the transition from full-time work to volunteering, ministry, or even second careers, Launch Your Encore shows boomers how to make an impact later in life.(amozon.com)
I found this book to be very helpful to me on several different levels. It does not matter if you are like me and dreaming of retirement and what you will do for your second act, getting ready to retire and trying to decide what to do, or maybe you have been retired for a while and are looking for you purpose in this stage of your life-this book is for you. A long with giving me some great tools for thinking and planning ahead, it also gave me some insight to my mom's life and how a long time retired person might see things. We are definitely living in a new era where people have plenty of time for act two. Pick up this book today and see what your second act might include.
