But don't just take our word for it..
”A happy story. I have a colleague just three months younger than me who has been avoiding the R word for the six years I have known him. He has a large family with grandkids etc. He has been working at the college for 20+ years – is an institution in the place -so all in all it will be an enormous decision.
I gave him a copy of your book in front the half dozen of us who meet for coffee before school and there was much laughter!
On Monday he came into work with a huge grin on his face – the book had started the family conversation. He is now talking about going part time -something we all thought impossible even three months ago
The power of epic! Thank you

“When I read your book I pestered my husband to read it so we could discuss it together. Not usually a man easily swayed in his life choices, he has also found your advice and style accessible and important.
I have recommended your book in an evangelistic style that is quite unlike me and I know at least two people have bought it since. I told a friend yesterday that I haven’t been this excited about my life opportunities since I finished year 12- in fact I am calling this my ‘gap year’ – and it is thanks in a large part to you. I am so grateful that you are sharing your wisdom.”

"Absolutely loved this book!! So informative, down to earth, great - with lots of positives. The earlier people read this the better! Don't wait til you're close to retirement as likely you'll want to rethink some parts of your plan. Well done Bec! I read all 350 pages in my holidays"
Sharon, Sydney
“I have your book, and after several chapters into it, I conclude that it's exactly what I've been searching for. It's been a game changer for me. I'm really starting to understand the factors to consider in the lead-up to retirement ... and the more I read, the more confident I become. Your book is such a treasure, and released me from the pre-retirement brain-fog. I love it, and can't wait to leap into the next chapters! "
