Retirement brings more than free time — it brings questions.
Who am I now? What do I do next? How do I move forward?

Drawing on practical lessons, surprising research, and memorable stories from years of speaking with retirees, he shows that a meaningful life isn’t about money — it’s about how you live, who you connect with, and your willingness to embrace change.
