Right Place, Right Time

The Ultimate Guide to Choosing a Home for the Second Half of Life

De: Ryan Frederick

Narrado por: Jim Seybert

In Right Place, Right Time, Ryan Frederick argues that where you live matters enormously - especially during the second half of your life.

Frederick, the CEO of SmartLiving 360 and a recognized thought leader on the intersection of place and healthy aging, provides you with tools to evaluate your living situation, ensuring that you weigh all the necessary factors to make a sound decision that optimizes your current and future well-being. He explores the pros and cons of different living options, from remaining in your current home to downsizing, intergenerational living, co-housing, senior living, and more. Along the way, he helps readers answer important questions, including "Are you already in the right place?" and "In what areas does your current place not align with your needs and desires?" The book closes by challenging the reader to develop a discipline of choosing the right place at the right time.

Combining real-life stories about people selecting places to live with design thinking principles and interactive tools, Right Place, Right Time will appeal to empty nesters, retirees, solo agers, and even adult children seeking ways to support their parents and loved ones.

Thoughtful asset for seniors.

As a senior, I’ve found Frederick’s book to be a thought provoking asset that could easily work for other seniors regarding quality of life issues, for now and for the future. What struck me about Right Place, Right Time was the extensive resource it is for seniors to help make thoughtful, intentional choices about our future rather than just letting things happen to/for us haphazardly. I actually bought the book, because, at age 80, I wanted to see if the choices I’ve made regarding my final commitment to place and community would hold up to Frederick’s research and understanding of Right Place, Right Time. Well, I got lucky… they indeed are! The book was a fascinating read and has lead me to further pondering about my own health, happiness, and, with gratitude, to know where I am is where I’ve chosen to live, ‘happily ever after!’

Great!

THE book to help you be thoughtful about aging for you and your parents in the modern world.
