The Second Half - by Brian Moore (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Retirement is a dirty word. But It shouldn't be. Join Brian Moore to get the most out of this crucial period of your life, and make your Second Half really count.

When it comes to retirement, many of us can be apprehensive to start planning. Once it begins, without the structure of work to organize daily routine, it can be a struggle to find a new sense of purpose and direction. What should become some of the best years of our lives can sometimes become some of the worst. Loneliness, identity crises and mental health difficulties can easily develop. But fear no more. Help is at hand.

In The Second Half, Brian Moore, the former England rugby player and award-winning writer, draws on his own tumultuous journey through retirement, and his experiences now as a psychotherapist helping retirees, to aid individuals through this transitionary period and to positively thrive in their post-career lives.

Blending experiences from Brian's life as an athlete - athletes 'retire' from their principal careers earlier than most - to cutting edge research and case studies beyond sport, the result is an essential handbook full of simple ad practical advice for anyone who wants to plan for and make their retirement exciting and truly fulfilling.
