He explores and unpacks the importance of purpose, self-care, and the power of embracing discomfort in pursuit of personal growth and fulfilment. As younger generations, whose priorities are different than those of their parents, continue their careers, older generations need to rethink what retirement means. It doesn’t need to mean shuffling off to an early bedtime but can mean taking on new projects and even working part-time to alleviate money fears.
