Publisher's Summary

Discover the three secrets to happiness - and much more - in the later years of life.

Never before in human history have so many people lived for decades beyond their working years. Ten thousand Americans turn 65 each day, and their average life expectancy is another 20 years - and many will live longer. But will they just live or have a meaningful life?

The truth is that many - if not most - people approaching the latter years do not have a plan, much less a strategy to thrive instead of just survive. Packed with information based on research as well as common-sense wisdom, here are some examples of what listeners will discover:

  • How retiring at the wrong time increases the likelihood of dying 89 percent.
  • What can delay Alzheimer's onset an average of nine years.
  • How everything that makes you happy comes in just three forms.
  • Which partner is most likely to initiate divorce after decades of marriage and why.

What the critics say

“Whether you are thirty, fifty, or eighty years old, it’s not too late to take Eric Thurman’s advice for a happy, healthy, and secure retirement. With the secrets he offers in Thrive in Retirement, you can enjoy what many of us feel are the best years of our lives! Thank you, Eric, for writing such a great road map!” (Marilyn and Jim Lovell, astronaut and commander of Apollo 8 and Apollo 13)

“Leaving my long executive career was a big change. Thrive in Retirement is a candid and well-researched wealth of information and encouragement on how to not only navigate but thrive in the great third season of my life.” (Jerry Forte, CEO, Colorado Springs Utilities (retired))

“As retirement nears, we encourage older adults to plan for their future financial or health care needs, but what Eric Thurman insightfully notes is that we often overlook the need to plan for what will make us happy. I encourage older adults to use this book as their guide to happiness.” (Marla Fronczak, MSNM, executive director, Northeastern Illinois Agency on Aging)
