Retirees realize that this life phase can be intimidating - "What do I do now?" That's why Boomers on the Loose(R) was created, to take the anxiety out the quest for "what's next?" In this book, you'll be able to explore relevant and current options for meaningful leisure pursuits in hundreds of interest areas. All in one place.
The book also features a special "about you" chapter containing thoughtful self-understanding questions. Your answers will provide ideas on important things to think about when considering retirement pursuits.
Research shows that Boomers want to live with purpose and fulfillment. They want to give back. They want to dig in the dirt, plant and harvest community gardens, restore wetlands and wildlife habitat. They like to guide groups around nature centers, art galleries and museums. Shelve library books. Many serve on public committees. Others teach kids to read, play music, dance, garden or create art. They learn music, lead hikes, paddle dragon boats, walk goats at the zoo, count birds and clean up parks. Boomers learn new skills and start businesses. They study the world, meet new people, volunteer, improve our communities and lots more.
We hope you're getting the idea that Boomer status can be pretty darn exciting!
