“I’m writing this book because I’ve seen so many people enter retirement feeling lost rather than excited. After dedicating decades to careers, they expect these to be their “golden years”—but after a few months of relaxation, many find themselves wondering, “What’s next?” It’s not just about filling time; it’s about facing a true identity shift.

For many, retirement brings an unexpected sense of emptiness, even a crisis of purpose. They’ve achieved financial security and prominence, but they don’t want to spend every day on the golf course; they want to feel useful. I believe we need a paradigm shift—a new way to think about retirement that focuses on well-being and fulfillment, not just leisure. My hope is to spark conversations that help us redefine what retirement can really mean.”
