The 60-Something Crisis

How to Live an Extraordinary Life in Retirement

De: Barbara L. Pagano

Narrado por: Nancy Linari

The crisis of unfulfilled lives unfolds gradually, often with acquiesced boredom and a flimsy search for purpose. Our relevancy comes into question, or we succumb to the idea that the future will be one of slow-moving ambition and then an even slower glide into comfort as the flush of freedom fades. We can change this outcome if we want to. We should want to.

The 60-Something Crisis: How to Live an Extraordinary Life in Retirement is the first book to circumvent the tired and conventional approaches of finding purpose, passion, or happiness, or using reinvention to discover a path of fulfillment after sixty. It presents a clear, practical framework through four portals—geography of place, yield, kinship, and freedom—to navigate and support future well-being and happiness. Listeners will learn how to pursue desires, not roadmaps, to increase self-confidence and master risk-taking, and will discover the power and potential of investing in themselves at this time of life.

Barbara L. Pagano provides the foundation for taking on or taking back late-stage growth and shifts the conversation from “What’s next?” to “What do I need to know, what do I need to do now, and how soon can I get started?” The 60-Something Crisis offers a smart, well-written, practical, and poignant guide for the last third of life.

Questions never asked

We are all aware we have to prepare financially for life after retirement but many of never think about many other questions that might determine the other aspects of our life like location, physical ability, emotional connection, desire in terms of passion and wanting to thrive in retirement and not just live.

The writer shares information gleaned not just from her personal experience but of many others interviewed. She digs deeper and makes you think about what you want and how to shave those discussions with those in your life.

I enjoyed the straightforward approach mixed with anecdotal information, it helped make a difficult subject more palpable. I would recommend this book to those entering or about to enter this “third” stage of life.
