The Rockstar Retirement Programme
£9.39Our world is changing at a faster rate than ever before. In the last decade, empowered and perhaps enslaved by new technology, there have been whole paradigm shifts in the way we live our lives, communicate, and collaborate. Yet our approach to life-planning and our concept of retirement have failed to keep up. We are still following a retirement model from the age when technology meant recording the radio’s ‘Top Forty’ onto a cassette to play in your Sony Walkman. Our understanding of health and aging has also been transformed. Yet, our current life and retirement planning pre-dates the decoding of the human genome and reflects a time when sports nutrition comprised top-class footballers drinking five pints of larger as a post-match hydration.We now live in a world where it is normal for healthy 60-year olds to do activities that used to be the realm of 30-something’s. In this book, Dominic Watson takes you on a very different retirement journey, one that is fun and leads to a dynamic and enthralling destination. He shows you how retirement can be done on your terms. Using incredible, real life case studies this book will give you the insights on how to live the life you want.Redefining retirement the Rock Star Way isn’t about turning life’s amplifier down, it’s about well and truly ramping it up to eleven and beyond!What are you waiting for?
