Faced with low retirement savings, extended longevity and rampant ageism, the baby boomer generation (born 1946-1964) is in the throes of a career and financial crisis. With less than 25% of the generation financially prepared to retire, the majority (between 60-70 million Americans) are going to need to keep working for as long as possible.

"In this provocative book, Greg Olney uncovers the movement between the Status Quo and Commitment to Change. Olney reveals his goal for each reader to move quickly, but surely, through transition to the desired change rather than linger in transition.

The concepts brought up in this book generate strong provocation because the world tells the transition story differently. But the book doesn't stop there."
