What will you do with the rest of your life?

Purpose. Adventure. Health. Relationships.

And building a life you love after work.

Retirement isn’t the end of the story

For years, work gives us structure, purpose, people and a reason to get up in the morning. Then one day it stops.

Freedom is wonderful. But freedom on its own isn’t enough.

A full life after work still needs purpose, challenge, relationships, play, creativity — and perhaps a little adventure.

That’s what A Restless Heart is about.

A Life After Work

How I’m trying to live a full life after work

Sometimes the life you planned has to fall apart before you can build a better one.

A true story of success, failure, love, loss and starting again.

At 47, my life fell apart. I lost the business I had spent 23 years building, was left with around £600,000 of debt, and found myself living in my sister’s box room.

Strangely, it turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to me.

The Boy in the Red Trunks is the story of what happened next - and a reminder that it is never too late to change the direction of your life.
