Retirement offers us a unique opportunity — unlike any we’ve ever experienced. This key stage, possibly representing a quarter of a lifetime, is ideal for truly embracing the Jewish traditions of perpetual renewal, self-reflection, and fulfillment.
Next Years Best Years: Taking Your Retirement to the Next Level, based on 10 years of research, experience as a retiree and physician, personal journaling, and interviewing of others, examines the emotional well-being side of retirement. This book guides readers — whether they are approaching retirement, already retired, or are an involved partner — on a journey of exploration, self-worth and joy. With real-life stories, over 100 opportunities for involvement, and 60 Best Practices Resources, the reader will discover multiple approaches to: Reassess their personal inventory with thought-provoking worksheets and mental exercises. Embrace new adventures, push the envelope, and feel reinvigorated. Create a sense of purpose through learning, relationships, and passing on their life’s worth of knowledge to others. This is all in line with the Jewish concept of tikkun olam, or “repairing of the world,” bettering society with inclusiveness and acceptance.
