博客來Society has introduced to us a life where the norm is to work until our 60s, after which we can retire from employment. Regardless of whether we are employed, self-employed, or running our own business, we wait until old age to retire and do all the things we said we’d do once we don’t have to work anymore. But must it always be toward the end of our lives?
Can we not really enjoy all the perks of being away from work while we are younger; while we still have the stamina to walk thousands of meters a day; while our body can still do the things that we want to do without taking medications to mask off the pain; while our mental faculties can still be as creative as we need it to be? Are we sure that this is the only way to live life?In this bite-sized book about taking mini-retirements, we will:
- Explore what we could do during career breaks and when taking sabbaticals, paid or self-funded.
- Look into the things we need to prepare for to have a fruitful mini-retirement.
- Dig into the things we need to watch out for as well.
This book is for the tired employee, the self-employed, and the small business owners who would want a respite from the day-to-day stresses of employment and entrepreneurship. But you don’t have to hate your work to qualify for a mini-retirement. Everyone is welcome to rest and retire often!
