Retire with a Mission: Planning and Purpose for the Second Half of Life Book

Retirement is not merely an end to a career; it's an entirely new phase of life that requires new activities, renewed relationships, and, most important, a way to find value and worth without going to work every day. Writing a new mission for retired life creates a blueprint for health, happiness, and fulfillment.

Retire with a Mission shows readers how to match the skills they used at work to new activities for a joyful and satisfactory retirement. As well as guiding readers through writing and evaluating their new mission, Dr. Wendel provides creative ideas and exhaustive information on:

Fixed finances and maintaining a certain standard of living
Renewing sexual intimacy
Traveling
Volunteer, mentoring, and consulting opportunities
Using computers to communicate
Enhancing family life
Staying healthy and happy
Estate planning and preparation

With a lifetime of experience to draw from, a mission statement can be the unifier that brings together a retiree's identity, life's purpose, vision for the future, and the core values by which they plan to live the rest of their life.
