When do we hit our prime? Is it twenty-five? Fifty-five? Why not seventy-four?
Don Akchin hit a slump three years after he retired from his career, only to bounce back with more energy and positive force as a strong 74-year-old.
His book - The AfterWork: Finding Fulfilling Alternatives to Retirement - is not only a guide for new retirees, but also a life-line for him.
He has chosen to embrace the archetype of the kindly sage, instead of the irascible curmudgeon. And that has made all the difference in his own joy and daily energy.
This is a great conversation on how to age gracefully, and with purpose.
