The Second Innings
Retirement is a new ball game of life. Everyone knows the precise retirement date as this is fixed on the day one is born. Sadly, not many are prepared for it.
I have seen many people around me, who are struggling to find their purpose in life after retirement. The purpose of life earlier was earning a livelihood, raising a family, and seeing children settle. With better healthcare facilities and awareness, the lifespan has increased. The average life in urban India is approximately 80+ years now. While in rural India, it is found to have increased to approximately 70+ years. With this rough calculation, a person has around twenty years after retirement before he breaths his last. This is a long period to live and it would be good if one plans for this life instead of waiting for death.
This book is an effort to help you find a new direction to live a better life in your sunset years. One of the major objectives and intentions to write this book was to help retired elders (Indian middle-class in particular) in general. It will help you to find your “ikigai” in these golden years of life![mbm_book_grid id="4791"]
