Book Excerpt

Compose a new business card.  Don’t pretend that you don’t care what other people think. It’s natural to suffer anxiety attacks about the loss of status as a “player” in the community. Find meaningful work to mark with your personal imprint and change the way you keep score. Your contributions to society will be a fine substitute for E.P.S. growth, airline miles, and last year’s bonus. Get involved well before retirement to make the segue feel seamless.
