Inside the guide

What will your life after work contain?

Retirement gives us freedom, but it can also take away the structure, purpose and connection that work quietly provided. This 17-page guide draws on my own experience and offers ten ideas to help you design your next chapter.

  1. Find purpose and keep your body capable
  2. Make room for people, play, curiosity and adventure
  3. Create a simple plan for the next 30 days

You’ll also find questions to reflect on and links to my retirement film, memoir and other ways to explore further.
