Afterwork: An Honest Discussion about the Retirement Lie and How to Live a Future Worthy of Dreams

Enjoy having 10 powerful disciplines and practical applications you can easily use to break free of an unfulfilling retirement and step forward into a new, remarkably fulfilling season—regardless of how you've defined "work." Afterwork is a healthy and hopeful approach to retirement —and it may be different than conventional wisdom.

Our society declares that a self-focused, uber-comfortable, and vacation-minded retirement is what we want. That retirement is mostly a financial problem to be solved. What could possibly go wrong with double the free time and less structure in your life? But, this is where we go wrong. The retirement lie says that a successful retirement is an endless vacation based on financial security, but this way of thinking is a down payment toward purposelessness and disappointment.

Afterwork:
• Exposes the retirement lie
• Explores the 10 key disciplines to avoid a destiny of disillusionment
• Opens you to a life of purpose and meaning

The afterwork mindset and its disciplines are applicable to anyone. Perhaps you're leaving a traditional career. Your children are grown and gone. Maybe you've sold your business. Harder still, you may be navigating the unfathomable passing of a loved one. Preparing for and living well through these tectonic shifts requires serious reflection, intentional thinking and healthy mindsets. That's afterwork, and its quest for you is to thrive in the most impactful, purposeful season of your life, whether you're 45 or 75.
