Don't Retire...Recycle Yourself

About the Book

"Recycle Yourself . . .   Don't Retire." 

That's the advice of Author Madeline Kaloides, at age 86, as she reveals the things she has learned from her 21 years of retirement and from watching her contemporaries.  She gives useful ideas on three stages of retirement:

        * Pre-retirement
         * Mid-70s
        * Senior adults

Whether you are planning to retire or already retired, Madeline offers solid, practical ideas you can use to stay engaged, active, and productive.

She shows you how to MAKE things happen, not just LET things happen.  This is good, common-sense advice you can use today.  Rather than just take up space, plan what you are going to do
to make the most of the rest of your life.

Give as a gift
It's a gift that keeps giving - for Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad or a friend.  You will find many practical thoughts on positive thinking, keeping body and mind active, making new friends, preserving family history and setting goals.
