What Retirement? This book is not only for those who have already retired or those who are about to retire, but also for those who still are far from a retirement age. Aren’t we all adding more birthdays and growing older! In any case, we don’t need to feel old. In this book, you will find inspirational thoughts on what aging means to all of us - the young, the middle aged, and those who are in their later years. Since we have one life to live, we should make of the rest of it the most and best of it.
Indeed, retirement is not retirement from life, but the beginning of a new life with new opportunities for meaning and significance. Many books have been written on retirement.
Some of them focus on understanding Social Security, Medicare benefits, insurance options, and investment portfolios. Some others target the tips for best housing solutions, best travel and vacation bargains, best shopping deals, and the like. This book is different. Its direct focus is to show how even more important the other aspects of life are - aspects such as general physical-mental-emotional-spiritual well-being, creative pursuits, social support, deep faith and sense of purpose. It offers enlightening explanations on how to enjoy life to the fullest no matter what our circumstances are, and it provides practical spiritual guidance for the ways of staying alive and blessed all our life.
With its insightful reflections, uplifting propositions, warm style, captivating quotations, and engaging personal reflections and practical resolutions, Your New Adventure: Make the Most of the Rest of Your Life invites you to make the most of your retirement and life, and offers you the suggestions that you won’t get from your financial and professional advisors. Such life wisdom will help you create the conditions for a happier retirement and a fuller life than all other material means - important they might be - can possibly offer. Aging well is living well all our life so that we are able to say, “How good it was to be here! I truly have lived the fullness of life by being what my Creator meant me to be.”.

To love more, we need the desire to love more.
We need to slow down - not to do less, but to relax the frantic pace of thinking that leaves so little room for what is worthwhile. We need ways to reorder our priorities. We need time - time for others.
And we need some way of renewing ourselves, day in and day out. Eknath Easwaran describes specific methods of meditation and prayer which we can use to tap our inner strength at any time, even when we are frustrated, angry, or sapped by doubt. Introductions to each section give glimpses into the lives and teachings of these saints.

Orphaned at a young age, they've tried their best to find a sense of safety and security within the foster system.
At nine and eleven, they know more about the world than children twice their age-and it's a knowledge they have paid dearly to earn. Inspired by true events, their story is one of survival, but it's also one of friendship, sisterhood, and hope.
They must find the strength to face the world with courage and faith. Amid the tattered remains of their innocence, the sisters know that no matter what else life delivers, they can always count on each other. When their ever-shifting world is rocked by three wood-splintering knocks on the door one cold, autumn night, the sisters flee into the darkness, alone and terrified. What could drive them into the frigid night air?
On that night, Sara makes a promise to her sister, one she spends her whole life trying to keep. But it may be a promise that is destined to be broken. Author by: David RakelLanguage: enPublisher by: W.

We recognize when others are hurting, and we want to help, but we’re not always good at it. There is another way. In The Compassionate Connection, Dr. David Rakel explains how we can strengthen our bonds with others—all the while doing emotional and physical good for ourselves. As founder and director of the University of Wisconsin Integrative Medicine program, Dr.
Rakel discovered that we become the most effective helpers when we use the tool of human connection. Drawing on his own research and practice, as well as thirty years of published studies in medicine, sociology, psychology, meditation, and neuroscience, Dr. Rakel 'stacks the deck' in favor of healing and introduces the concept of bio-psycho-spiritual authentic awareness.
Not only are our bodies and minds connected, but also it has been scientifically proven that our capacity to feel beauty, awe, and compassion enhances our health and wellbeing. In The Compassionate Connection, Dr. Rakel provides an innovative approach to enhancing health in others and strengthening relationships through the art of connecting.
These tools guide us to improve our connections—whether between doctor and patient, husband and wife, parent and child, or boss and employee—and live with clarity, wisdom, and good health.
Am I a kind soul?As an existential question, it’s right up there with Why do I exist? And How do we know if we’re doing the right thing?Up until a few years ago, the question of kindness was way down on my bucket list.

I worried about being an older physician in a young person’s environment like the ER.Join me on my journey around the world, to discover kindness and empathy in both myself and the unique people I meet along the way.
