Reinventing retirement: The Best is Yet for Come for Boomer Men
Dr. Thelma Reese, author of The New Senior Man: Exploring New Horizons, New Opportunities joins eHealth Radio and the Health News Channel. She is here to talk about an entirely new concept of retirement. What Baby Boomer men face when they finish working has little to do with what their fathers faced. Retirement is a far longer phase of life, and it’s filled with possibilities.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. Thelma Reese discuss the following:
- What prompted you to write this book? Can you talk about your experiences on book tour for your first book?
- Why do men have their own set of challenges facing retirement?
- Can you give a few examples of men who’ve rewritten their own playbook on retiring, and why they’re inspiring?
- Why is retirement changing so much?
- Did you find that men dealt with intimacy and sex differently than the preceding generation? Why?
- What’s your advice for a man heading into this next phase of his life?
- Live alone, or live with others? What’s the consensus among the men you interviewed?
- How can men stand up to ageism — and how is it different for men than women?
