Description
“Award-winning journalist, Chris Farrell’s new book, “Unretirement”, provides key insights and practical advice for the boomer generation about to navigate the exciting, but unsettled, new frontier of retirement. Drawing on Mr. Farrell's decades of covering personal finance and economics for Bloomberg BusinessWeek and Marketplace Money, this book is an indispensable guide to the landscape of unretirement from one of America's most trusted experts.
The old idea of “retirement”—a word that means withdrawal, describing a time when people gave up productive employment and shrank their activities—was a short-lived historical anomaly. Humans have always found meaning and motivation in work and community, Farrell notes, and the boomers, poised to live longer in better health than any before, is already discovering unretirement—extending their working lives, often with new careers, entrepreneurial ventures, and volunteer service. Their experience, wisdom—and importantly, their continued earnings—will enrich the American workplace, treasury, and our whole society in the decades to come.” – Amazon
