Retirement and the Fear of Change Discussed in One Book

Growing old is inevitable, and the changes that come with it often trouble people. Motivational speaker, philosopher, and retirement counselor Michael Townshend addresses the emotional aspects of transitioning toward retirement in his book, Living Well Later in Life. It was displayed in LitFire Publishing’s booth during the AJC Decatur Book Festival from September 1 to 3, 2017.

While most books about retirement concentrate on financial matters—which are certainly important—Michael Townshend focuses on emotionally preparing retirees for the significant changes they are experiencing. “I show the reader ways to find the ‘promise’ and the ‘opportunity’ that lies just beneath the surface as we advance in age . . . as we prepare ourselves emotionally for retirement,” says Michael Townshend.

With simple methods and a positive mindset, Michael Townshend assuages fears and anxieties over retirement and advanced age in this essential guide. He provides fresh personal insight and information on retirement, his profession, and his book on his website, www.mybestdayistoday.com.
