Publisher's summary

Make the post-career phase of your life the happiest and most fulfilling time of your life!

This book is about how to flourish in retirement.

It is a practical guide to overcoming the challenges most of us face when we leave the career phase of our lives. Most people don't even realize they will face some challenges. The problem is they are not prepared to deal with all of the changes that occur and the need replace some of the things that were important to them—their identity based on what they did, feeling like they are making a difference, professional friendships, a structure and rhythm to their lives.

Most of all, it is a guide to creating a happy and fulfilling life. Just like you need a financial portfolio to afford to retire, you need a Happiness Portfolio ® to flourish in your Third Act. A Happiness Portfolio ® is more than a bucket list—although bucket list items should be part of it. Your Happiness Portfolio® is your plan for how you want to live every aspect of your life so you feel that you are flourishing. It is about your vision, what you intend to do, and how much time and energy you want to invest in each of the eight non-financial areas of your life.

This book includes valuable information supported by scientific research and hands-on experience. The thought-provoking exercises assist you to design your retirement life so you enjoy it to the max and feel that your life is fulfilling. You will explore:

  • Why this change is sometimes so difficult
  • How to structure your life so there is plenty of time for both fun and doing things that make you feel like your life is worthwhile
  • What it really means to be happy
  • Some tools for dealing with the bumps you are certain to encounter along the way

This book is right for you if:

  • You intend to retire soon or
  • If you retired in the past five years or so

Live Long and Die Short!

That was my take-home from listening to this inspiring book. There are many practical tips, advice, and stories generated through the author's extensive experience helping retirees. I opted to work part-time in retirement and fully retire at 70, and I was glad I did after having heard some woeful tales of retirees that went cold turkey into retirement and suffered marital breakups and ill health as a result. The book's key message is to find a purpose after retirement. Sitting around the house and playing golf provides a scant purpose, so my take home is to find a purpose in life after 70. Marianne's book offers a wealth of ideas on how I can find purpose through writing, playing an instrument, volunteering, or public speaking through groups like Toastmasters. I have two years before I need to lock in that purpose, so I will be sure to tap into Marianne's wisdom again before that date.
