More ]]> Lyndsay Green has published a new book in her series on successful aging; The Well-Lived Life.

This book compels us to think about our legacy and consider how we would feel if we knew our life would soon be over.

“This book could just as well be called ‘A Travel Guide to the Journey that Matters Most — Your Life.’  Lyndsay Green has done a fabulous job of answering all the essential life questions that loom for all of us, and she does it with grace, humour and fastidious research. Her message is clear and most welcome: there’s still plenty of time to get it right…”       Roy MacGregor, author of Canoe Country 

Here’s a short video of Lyndsay talking about one of her earlier books: https://youtu.be/I0lf5JyaDeg

When Lyndsay Greene, author of You Could Live a Long Time, found that many experienced retirees had “worked” well past the end of their traditional careers.  They said work — not necessarily paid work — provides purpose and social networks in retirement.

They emphasized that, in the post-career phase of work, you shouldn’t expect the same level of responsibility and authority as in your career.
