Thrive in Retirement

Simple Secrets for Being Happy for the Rest of Your Life

De: Eric Thurman

Narrado por: Jason Culp

Discover the three secrets to happiness--and much more--in the later years of life.

Never before in human history have so many people lived for decades beyond their working years. 10,000 Americans turn 65 each day, and their average life expectancy is another 20 years--and many will live longer. But will they just live or have a meaningful life? The truth is that many--if not most--people approaching the latter years do not have a plan, much less a strategy to thrive instead of just survive. Packed with information based on research as well as common-sense wisdom, here are some examples of what readers will discover:

How retiring at the wrong time increases the likelihood of dying 89%.

What can delay Alzheimer's onset an average of 9 years.

How everything that makes you happy comes in just 3 forms.

Which partner is most likely to initiate divorce after decades of marriage and why.

Retirement is not just a Destination!

Retirement is not just a Destination!
It's 30 percent of your life, and i never thought of it like that. Brought up many aspects of retirement that I never considered.
Took me some time to get out of my own head and listen with an open heart, glad I did. Once I retired I was left with identity crisis, depression and asking myself now what? This book is very thought provoking and helpful for anyone retired or getting ready to retire. Embrace the 30 percent! It's a gift!

Great message for living!

Great message for living and not retirement! God’s wisdom for everyone to live by! Thank you

The 3 Ps and 5 Parts of Life are Gold!

The author has a heavy reliance on storytelling to a fault. I found myself craving more conciseness and getting to the point. Nevertheless, I found good value in this book.

full of practical and thoughtful advice for life

the book is a good read for looking at your life overall, especially in the last third of your life.
Imagining what i would do if I had only one year to live helped me to rethink priorities and ensuring that i have everything in order for my family when i pass.

Good information would recommend

Overall I enjoyed the book - it did go into religious aspects longer than needed. And Unfortunately the resources webpage is no longer functioning so audio book listeners cant download the resource documents anymore ☹️.

More then just the title

This book is more then just the title....Thrive in Retirement.......It's about thriving in life!!!! Hands down one of the most best books I have listen to all year long!

The river of life.

Was a great book to listen to. Gave me a lot to think about. Boat story was a great example of life.

Thought starter

Just beginning to take retirement seriously and this is a good first book to get me thinking about the subjects that matter. It was also helpful to see the author's opinions along with others on different topics while I develope my own opinion.

Not Really Helpful

I found this book to be totally uninteresting and not consistent with the title of how to thrive in retirement. Very disappointed and would not recommend.

No New Wisdom

If you are young or unprepared for life never mind retirement then this book will be worthwhile but otherwise just repeating common sense & quotations to give it a feel of wisdom
