Badass Retirement: Shatter the Retirement Myth and Live With More Meaning, Money, and Adventure (Paperback or Softback)

The traditional approach to retirement is FAILING us. It’s based on the belief that retirees and aging are synonymous with becoming weaker and less capable. That retirement is about winding down and playing it safe, because, you know, retirees are frail. This outdated and patronizing view assumes that when you retire from your job, you also retire from life.

In retirement, you have more time, money, resources, and wisdom than you’ve ever had. You can be more adventurous, pursue your dreams, and have a greater impact. But that’s not the message we tell retirees.

If you think taking it easy, avoiding challenges, and creating a life of comfort leads to happiness and fulfillment after you stop working you've fallen for the retirement myth.

If you want your best days to be ahead of you. If you want to take on big challenges that give you purpose. If you want to feel stronger and have more energy with each passing day. If you want to make an impact and feel valued. If you want total financial security. If you want to live a bold life that's rich with adventure and excited, Badass Retirement is for you.
