I picked this up while helping my parents plan their next chapter, and I was genuinely impressed by how thoughtful and uplifting it was. It’s not just about filling time—it’s about creating a life that feels fun, meaningful, and connected, even on a budget. The ideas are realistic, creative, and perfect for anyone wanting to stay active and engaged later in life.

What I really appreciated was how the audiobook balanced practical advice with a warm, encouraging tone. It touches on everything from trying new hobbies to building community, without ever feeling overwhelming. The narration by Juanelle Louise Hall made it even more enjoyable. It felt like listening to a trusted friend. Whether you're retired or supporting someone who is, this is a valuable and inspiring guide.

As someone already in retirement and helping others plan for it, I wasn’t expecting many surprises, but I jotted down several new ideas. I really enjoyed how approachable and practical the ideas were—nothing required a major lifestyle overhaul or a big budget. It’s full of simple, joyful ways to stay active and engaged, no matter your interests or circumstances. As a retirement lifestyle coach, I especially appreciated how it sparks curiosity and connection without being overwhelming. I’ve already shared a few ideas with clients who were stuck in that “what now?” stage. It’s a refreshing reminder that retirement can be both meaningful and fun.

I loved listening to this book. Even though I am only 40, this book got me to thinking what I will possibly do in retirement age. I like how it brought out the point of finding somewhere to volunteer. This seems to be a great choice. Also being someone else's mentor or teacher. Even the point of hosting dinner parties with rotating menus of foods from other countries sounds fun. I highly recommend this book.

I’m quite a ways from retirement, but this audiobook still gave me something I didn’t expect, a different perspective. The focus on simple pleasures, meaningful connection, and staying curious is a good reminder to slow down and enjoy life now, not just “someday.” It’s gentle, uplifting, and surprisingly relevant at any age.
