Let’s Retire Retirement: How to Enjoy Life to the Fullest—Now and Later Book Release Party and Fireside Chat with Derek Coburn and Daniel Pink
Have you ever questioned whether the traditional concept of retirement truly makes sense?
Why do we accept a less fulfilling life today for the promise of a better tomorrow?
Why have we normalized working unfulfilling jobs?
And why do we assume that doing nothing for 30 years will bring us happiness?
Most of us have unconsciously bought into the promise of retirement—saving and investing to reach a “magic number” by a certain age. In pursuit of this goal, we make unnecessary sacrifices:
- Neglecting our health
- Postponing meaningful experiences
- Missing countless precious moments with family and friends
In this book, Derek will challenge the conventional path to retirement at 65, revealing why it’s both unrealistic and unnecessary. Instead of planning to retire, you’ll learn how to design a life so fulfilling that you’ll never want to retire from it.
By embracing the possibility of earning income longer than traditionally expected, you’ll realize you already have more time and money than you think to create an extraordinary life—starting now.
Whether you’re ahead of the retirement curve or playing catch-up, this book offers a fresh perspective on building a life that’s rich in both meaning and money—today and in the future.
