      A Boomer’s Guide to

      Creating a Fulfilled and Purposeful Life

      Introduction

      There are 78 million baby boomers in America today and many are thinking about retirement or are already retired. It’s not surprising then that this generation of people is now faced with unique challenges as they confront the inevitable lifestyle changes and other reminders of growing old. However, this group has already proven themselves to be different than previous generations by being more active, healthier and living more productive lifestyles. The chance to pursue life-long interests and other activities, once constrained by the commitments of work and family, is a welcome blessing now.

Advertisers are fixated on boomers and capitalize on their subsequent challenges and ultimate victories. We have been recognized for having huge potential and success, but yet we are tormented by a deep sense of disappointment and struggle. We are experiencing the loss of our youth, our loved ones, maybe our hopes
