Generation Cherry: Retired? Redundant? Rethink! Powerful Strategies to Give You a Second Bite of the Cherry - Tapa blanda

Críticas

Generation Cherry absolutely nails a major emerging social trend - a whole generation who are unable and unwilling to retire. Unable - because their pensions won't support them; unwilling - because they have longer lives and more to offer. The author terms this generation 'second biters'. Currently, however, our society doesn't recognise the value that these second biters can bring and isn't set up to benefit from it. So this is an individual handbook, a battlesuit almost, for all of us who want to continue to be economically active well into our sixties and seventies, and who have something to offer the wider world in terms of experience, stamina and - who knows? - possibly wisdom. --Charles Kingsmill, Leading Business Strategy Coach

In an increasingly uncertain and insecure world this is an optimistic and essential guide for our times. --Malcolm Durham, author of WealthBeing

The great strength of Tim Drake's book about how we should try to come to terms with personal setback in this unwelcome world is that he draws on his own, difficult, experiences of handling a career meltdown. His practical suggestions for dealing with a sudden and painful change in career and personal prospects offer sound guidance not just to older citizens. Many forty plus strivers of today are destined to find the next twenty years a lot harder in career... they too may find the lessons and coping strategies he has drawn from his experiences not only practical, but also reassuring and inspiring. --Stewart Fleming, former US Editor, Financial Times

Reseña del editor

Many people in their fifties or sixties (and even their forties and seventies) have moved from being the gilded generation, to finding themselves with a reduced income or a skinny pension. Whether such changes are down to choice or circumstance, this powerful new book from thought leader Tim Drake, shows us how we can have a second bite of the cherry and make a new future work for us. Taking a second bite is more important than ever now that we live in a society where the idea of what "work" entails is changing, and where jobs, redundancy and retirement are evolving as concepts. Many of us feel far too young to leave our jobs or retire, and many more of us will find it financially challenging to do so. From the Four Autonomies to the Seven Insidious Excuses Forcefully Rejected by Highly Effective People, Drake proposes that we take positive, conscious, control of our lives. We can then really develop our sense of autonomy, lose our fixed mindsets and open ourselves up to a growth mindset. This will enable us to adapt and flourish, and can take a second bite of the cherry. Only then can we move into a new and improved future whatever age we are.
