Introducing one of my newest books, which is on retirement.

Retirement. Just saying the word brings a range of emotions, doesn’t it? Some of you might feel excitement at the thought of freedom and new possibilities. Others might feel a twinge of uncertainty, wondering what’s next after years of structure and routine. That’s exactly why I wrote "Transitioning to Retirement: You Can’t Ride a Camel for the Rest of Your Life."

I’ve had countless conversations with retirees and those nearing retirement, and while everyone talks about finances (which are incredibly important), there’s often less focus on the other challenges—the emotional, mental, and social changes that come with leaving a long career. And that’s where I wanted to help. This book isn’t about how to grow your nest egg. It’s about how to grow you—your passions, your connections, your health, and your overall purpose in retirement.

Why Did I Write This Book?

The idea for this book came to me after my own journey into retirement. Like many, I thought I could simply "ride the camel" of my past experiences and cruise through retirement. But I quickly learned, just like on any journey, transitions require preparation, adjustments, and a fresh perspective. Retirement, it turns out, is not the end of the road, but the beginning of an entirely new adventure—a jungle safari, if you will, with both exciting opportunities and unforeseen challenges.

The truth is, we’re not meant to just "stop" after decades of work. We need purpose, structure, and connection, even in retirement. This book helps readers discover how to create a meaningful and fulfilling life after leaving the workforce. It’s packed with practical solutions, personal stories, and action plans to help you navigate this new chapter with confidence and joy.

Who Needs to Read This Book?

If you’re already retired or counting down the days to it, this book is for you. But let’s break it down:

• Nearing Retirement: If you’re looking ahead to retirement and wondering how to make the most of it (beyond the financial side), this book will help you plan for personal growth, well-being, and a life full of purpose.
• Already Retired: If you’re in retirement and feeling like something is missing, or if you’re struggling to find your rhythm, this book will help you recalibrate and design a more fulfilling life in this next phase.
• Financial Planners: If you’re guiding clients through the retirement process, this book is the perfect companion to your financial advice. It gives a holistic view of what life looks like after retirement, focusing on the mental and social aspects that financial planning can’t address.
• Friends and Family: Know someone who’s approaching or already in retirement? This book makes an excellent gift to help them transition smoothly and purposefully into their next great adventure.

Why Should You Read This Book?

Because retirement is more than just an end; it’s a new beginning. And whether you’re excited, anxious, or a bit of both about that next step, Transitioning to Retirement offers something for everyone. Here’s what you’ll find inside:

• How to Build a New Vision for Retirement: You’ve been used to working and having a routine. How do you create a new vision for your life that feels just as rewarding?
• How to Stay Mentally and Physically Healthy: Without the structure of work, it can be easy to let these things slide. We’ll talk about how to stay active, mentally sharp, and energized.
• How to Find Purpose: Whether it's volunteering, continuing education, or finding new hobbies, this book provides a roadmap to staying engaged and fulfilled.
• How to Handle the Inevitable Transitions and Challenges: Retirement doesn’t always go as planned. Life changes, and we need to be flexible and resilient to face these shifts with grace.

The bottom line? This isn’t just another book about retirement; it’s a guide to thriving in retirement.
