More About This Book

Overview

Baby Boomers are aware that they are experiencing different types of life issues than the previous generation. With the oldest boomers now reaching 65 years of age in 2011, this book explores a wide range of these issues: love, marriage, friendship, hopes, happiness, encore careers, health, fitness, parenting and aging along with retirement readiness.

Most Baby Boomers (the cohort of Americans born between 1946 and 1964) believe that they will still be working during their retirement years.

Eight in ten say they plan to work at least part-time--and others envision starting their own business or working full-time at a new job or career--according to an AARP Segmentation Analysis: Baby Boomers Envision Their Retirement.

By 2015, estimates the National Council on the Aging, 20% of the U.S. work force will be over age 55, up from 13% in 2000. This "phased retirement" of Baby Boomers will shape the American workplace and compensate for a severe talent gap due to a shrinking supply of new workforce entrants. Phased retirement will allow Baby Boomers to engage in work they enjoy while providing needed income.

This book is based on boomer generation book reviews and coaching tips previously published on The Baby Booomer Life Tips blog at www.SoBabyBoomer.com and future blog postings can viewed on this website or may be downloaded automatically to your computer or smartphone.

    Helping us take a closer look at where we want to be and how to get there.

    Reducing anxiety during this long term economic recession is important for the mental and physical health of boomers. Yet, as we age, most of us expect to remain vital and independent.

    This new book gives use good tips on where we are today and some important perspectives on where we can be tomorrow in the areas of health, fitness, happiness, home, encore careers and relationships.
