**Named one of The Wall Street Journal 's Best Books of 2020 for Aging and Retirement** Find out how harnessing the powerful business principles of design thinking can turn ordinary retirement planning into "a revolutionary and healthy way to look at and plan for life's next great adventure." ( New York Times bestselling author, Chip Conley) There is no one right time or way to retire. Retirement is a major life transition; but if you spend the time designing a future filled with promise and possibilities, the prospect can be utterly exciting and revitalizing. In Retirement by Design , professional mentor and coach Ida Abbott shows you how the innovative business principles behind design thinking can be applied to plan a rich, fulfilling, and more meaningful retirement. Her guided workbook uses a business-like approach to leaving business, making your switch much smoother and less jolting. Whether you're considering a new place to settle down, working through financial planning, strategizing how to unwind a business, or deciding on which organizations you want to stay engaged with, making critical decisions takes a lot of organization, thought, and planning. Abbott shows how the five principles of design thinking will revolutionize your retirement-planning process: Empathy : Get inside the shoes of your future self. What will be important to that version of you? Define : Hone in on what is and will be most critical for you to focus on (whether it's volunteering, family, activities, or skills). Ideate : Draw, scribble, brainstorm, and throw around as many different retirement scenarios as you can come up with. Prototype : If retiring across the country in Arizona sounds perfect--try it out first. Come up with opportunities to test out your scenarios with short trips and trial time off. Test : This is the fun part--get back to the drawing board and try more retirement scenarios (and future versions of yourself) before sitting down to make those life-changing decisions. The new and innovative, self-coaching approach of Retirement by Design helps you spearhead and navigate a major next step in life. Whether your retirement is 10 years away or swiftly approaching, this workbook ensures you will create a future that is perfectly tailored to you.
