"Re-fire your love, joy, passion, purposefulness, success, and significance with this magnificent book! Drink deeply of the wisdom of Ken and Morton’s brilliance, so you can have a delightfully ageless future with ever more fun."

About The Book

Refire! Don’t Retire asks readers the all-important question: As you approach the remainder of your life, what are you going to do to make it joyful and meaningful? Ken Blanchard and Morton Shaevitz point out that too many people see their later years as a time to endure rather than as an exciting opportunity.

Both research and common sense confirm that people who embrace these years with gusto - rather than withdrawing or waiting for things to happen - consistently make the rest of their lives the best of their lives.

The authors tell the compelling story of Larry and Janice Sparks, who discover how to see each day as an opportunity to enhance their relationships, stimulate their minds, revitalize their bodies, and grow spiritually. Readers will find humor, practical information, and profound wisdom in Refire! Don’t Retire.

    ~ Richard Leider, Bestselling Author of Life Reimagined

    ~ Frances R. Hesselbein, CEO Of The Frances Hesselbein Leadership Institute
  • "What Blanchard and Shaevitz have really done is change our whole perspective on time. Instead of an older person feeling like a has-been, each is encouraged to become a will-be. We are not our past - we are the possibilities of adventures in our future."
    ~ Natasha Josefowitz, Author Of Too Wise To Want To Be Young Again
  • "Companies could help their executives before leaving by using this book. C-Level executives are often at a loss after stepping out of a power seat. This book would've made my transition much easier as I floundered to regain my purpose and passion."
