Transition: Finding work that matters in your Second Half
Retirement is an idea that could be headed for the waste paper basket- if Marc Freedman has anything to say about it. In his book, Encore: finding work that matters in the second half of life, he argues that ‘For the last half century, we’ve had a cultural vision of success in later life that focussed on liberation from work’. As CEO of Civic Ventures, Freedman promotes ideas that organisations can create opportunities for Baby Boomers to start new careers. These careers may be paid or unpaid, voluntary participation. The opportunities offer older adults the opportunity to make a positive social contribution to their current and future lifestyles. Order online from Amazon or check your local library for the book.
