Your Retirement Quest

Mary Claybon will interview authors Keith Lawrence and Alan Spector, who wrote Your Retirement Quest: 10 Secrets for Creating and Living a Fulfilling Retirement to help the 10,000 Baby Boomers who are retiring every day. Boomers are the healthiest and longest living generation ever. They have worked hard and deserve the rest of our lives to be the best years of our lives. However, many will never realize this retirement dream, because they have a limited vision of what is important and have not spent time to plan their future. They tend to focus only on financial aspects, not recognizing that every dimension of their life will change. Their lack of awareness of what is truly important (e.g., well-being, relationships, and life purpose) and the absence of a holistic plan significantly increases their odds of being disenchanted in retirement. Your Retirement Quest is based on a decade of research and interviews with hundreds of retirees about what it takes to create and live the retirement of your dreams. The book recognizes that retirement is a journey—beginning while you are still working and warranting renewal over time as your circumstances change. Your Retirement Quest also has deep relevance for the generation older than Boomers who are already retired yet seeking to enhance their lives and to younger generations who will realize the principles in the book are about all phases of life.
