Self-help & personal development; Retirement

We often hear: 'I'm busier now I've retired than I ever was before!' But what if that's not your experience? What if you identify more with 'I'm recently retired and, to be honest, I feel a bit lost'? After having a similar thought on her 65th birthday, one woman became determined to break free from her disillusionment.

Rosie's Back Home! is about Rosie Ross's life-changing decision to examine her situation with painful honesty, reduce her 'encumbrances' and do something new. With her own brand of humour and a conversational style, Rosie withholds no secrets. She gives a full and frank description of the thoughts, feelings and actions that led her to a happier and more peaceful state of mind.

This book is much more than a memoir. Alongside the author's reflections on her round-the-world travel adventure, Rosie's Back Home! offers the reader many useful perspectives on personal change. At no time does Rosie claim to have all the answers. Instead, the book invites discussion and disagreement, in the hope that readers will find their own ways forward. At the very least, this is an entertaining read. More likely, the book will help the reader shrug off the shackles of inertia.
