Happy About announces the release of
“Happy About Working to Stay Young: Expanded Careers for
Boomers and Seniors” by Jacky Hood.
Cupertino, CA (PRWEB) September 25,
2007 – “Happy
About Working to Stay Young: Expanded Careers for Boomers and
Seniors” turns the tables on the idea of retirement.
Not satisfied with traditional “retiree” opportunities,
Jacky Hood outlines why this is the time for Boomers and Seniors
to fulfill their career dreams and make a lasting contribution
to a company, an industry or a profession.
"In our work with older adults, we
know that boomers are redefining retirement and designing their
futures to remain vital and productive,” said Lisa Hendrickson,
CEO, Avenidas Center. “For many, this will involve working
long after the traditional retirement age of 65. Jacky makes a
strong case for always working 'in retirement' and gives a roadmap
for having it all while continuing to work."
This book provides the reader with dozens
of reasons to have a job or a career after 60 and explains how
to achieve these goals in a youth-oriented society. Learn how
staying in the work force helps not only the wealth of older adults,
but their health, and social life as well as the economy and society.
Using role models ranging from Paul Newman to a 92-year-old social
worker, the author illustrates how to “be yourself”,
and also appreciate our youth-oriented culture. The author helps
readers evaluate their own skills and personality in choosing
several options for the third and most productive stage in their
career, including how a few simple changes in clothing, vocabulary,
and posture can convey energy and enthusiasm.
The book is available from Amazon
and Happy
About.
