Blossoming Post Retirement: Live Longer, Live Better

The book is for people retiring from service/profession or already retired for preparing their life after retirement. Retirement is arguably the biggest transition one ever had in one's life. There are few critical milestones in life and retirement from service/profession is one such milestone. Suddenly, one is required to adapt to a new lifestyle with 8 to 10 extra hours. Also, one loses the perks and position and company of colleagues. If one is not prepared to adapt to this change and does not remain physically active and mentally engaged, it leads to frustration and depression, and quality of life deteriorates. Alternatively, if one is prepared and clear about life ahead, it is a great opportunity to bring improvement in quality of life due to the following reasons:

1. One can be free from service/professional life stress.

2. One can fulfil his/ her passion/hobby, which is compromised due to professional pressure.

3. One can regain/recover health damage due to the stress of professional life.

4. Many times, one could not observe work-life balance in professional life, adversely impacting relationships. Post-retirement: One can repair/nurture relationships. 5. One can share his/ her experience and wisdom gained over the years in making a positive difference to others and making our society/ world better. One can leave a positive legacy. If I have to convey this in numbers, one can take the quality of life to 90 to 95 % by adopting the right lifestyle and healthy habits post-retirement. Life can blossom post-retirement.
