Renowned psychologist Dorothy Cantor thoughtfully shows how to create an exciting future in this road map for anyone in middle or retirement age. Later life can be richly fulfilling, intensely satisfying and even marked by a newfound attitude toward life. Cantor's work proves that there is more to life after work than material security. She knows what it takes for us to keep growing and presents a dynamic plan for exploring our past and present in order to discover how best to design the years ahead. Cantor supplies practical tools for taking an inventory of our major decisions, role models, wishes, disappointments, and talents. Next she shows how to pull all of the information together and make a plan for the next chunk of life - the time when we can enjoy the greatest freedom, when all the choices are up to us.
