The Free Activity Phase
Between career and retirement
Meaningful designing of this phase of life
Years ago, Leopold Stieger repeatedly tried to make people aware of the topic of “Utilizing the potential of older people” at IODA conferences. With very little success, because it is still not a business for consultants. But the train rolls, if you’re late, you miss it.
About the book:
For the first time in human history, a completely new phase of life has been given to our generation: The “free activity” phase. In the past people thought that they would retire after leaving the job market. It can be assumed that this new period takes at least 20 years. BUT it is up to the individual whether he accepts this great opportunity and does not orient himself on his birth dates, but on his potentials.
Is it possible to prepare for this new time? Yes: The book offers 11 arguments for this. Exciting life stories from very different people are perhaps even more convincing than “grey” theory. If you accept your challenge for the new phase of your life, you will experience with the book a path that leads you step by step to your own potentials and finally, after 15 steps, to a personal vision of your life after work. There are many guides to this topic, but this book is the first concrete guide, it is a seminar in book form. Countless tests show how healthy such a challenge is: Those who do not use them give away two months per year of life.
