Some of the ideas behind the books I talk about below began years ago, while spending time in places where life moves at a different pace. Watching a monk sweep temple grounds at dawn, it was clear his day didn’t revolve around material wealth or constant pressure. His focus was on mental and spiritual wellbeing — a form of wealth shaped by teachings passed down for centuries. That kind of steadiness stands in sharp contrast to the stress and speed of modern life in North America.

Taking control of our own lifestyle, as much as we’re able, became the driving force behind writing The Un‑Retirement Guide: A Complete Life Wellness Plan for 50+ Boomers.

A second book is now taking shape quietly in the background. It focuses on self‑awareness and the challenges younger generations — Gen Y, Z, and Alpha — face in a world that is changing faster than any before it. These generations will step into roles once held by Boomers and Gen X over the next 10 years.

To that end, the upcoming ebook explores how raising self‑awareness grounds the monkey mind and can boost personal and work success.

More to come.
