About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The average UK retirement age is 66.
12 million people in UK are aged over 65.
10% of this number is still working - by choice or by financial necessity.
Whether you choose to retire or not - this book is how you can live your later years to their fullest.


Many of us can be apprehensive to start planning for our 'second half' in life. And then, once it begins, what should become some of our very best years, a time of hard-earned relaxation and freedom, focusing on what we cherish the most, can instead become a period of worry and stress. For some, lacking the structure of their old routine, it is easy to struggle with a lack of purpose and even loneliness. But it needn't be. And help is at hand.

In The Second Half, Brian Moore, the former England rugby player turned psychotherapist, draws on how he learned to thrive after the end of his own sporting career - athletes 'retire' from their principal careers earlier than most people - as well as the transformational stories of the clients he has treated to get the most out of this period of their lives.
The result is an exciting and essential handbook full of easy and practical advice on: Finding Purpose, Building and Maintaining Relationships, Financial Planning, Preparing Wills, Physical and Mental Health & Wellness, Volunteering & Mentoring, Habits for Happiness, and How to Lead Your Most Fulfilled Life.
