Synopsis
‘The Little Guide to Your Bigger Future’ is intended to help prepare everyone for the considerably longer lives that we are expected to enjoy, due to improvements in public health, nutrition and medicine. It cuts through all the conflicting messages that abound about, for example, health, wealth and relationships, to enable everyone, whatever their age, experience and station in life, to make informed decisions that could benefit them for the rest of their lives. Based on the author’s own life experiences and considerable research into current thinking and studies, he suggests how relatively small changes in our behaviour and outlook can produce profound, dramatic, life-enhancing results. Significantly, the book helps individuals create a clear vision of their future. It shows how everyone can prepare mentally, physically and financially for the time ahead. It covers areas such as the healthy mind and body, personal and business finances, relationships, sense of purpose and shows how life improvements can also be fun! Each area draws on the author’s personal experiences and those of others, often by way of illustration of actual ‘case studies,’ and provides practical and easy-to-follow advice and ‘Top Tips’ for achieving the suggested goals. The book promotes the proposition that we are never too old to learn something new. That we should always remain inquisitive, recognise influences and build on our own life experiences. It proposes that we should focus on the future, on staying fit – both mentally and physically, that we should ensure our finances are in order and capable of sustaining us throughout our lives, that we should cultivate positive relationships and that we should always have a powerful reason for getting up in the morning. Throughout the book, the author provides self-help charts and diagrams that help to focus the mind and set achievable goals that refresh and motivate. He refers constantly to proven scientific research that backs up the diverse and interesting propositions propounded in the book and explains how subtle changes in habits and routines can contribute to a more optimistic direction in life.

The book covers the subject of the importance of fulfilling relationships and a strong sense of purpose and how understanding the needs of others can establish inner peace and happiness and lead to a less self-centred existence.
