Compared to previous generations, they are more likely to bring to their Next Chapters more passion, more talent, and more energy than generations that came before them.    It is for this group of people and their younger cohorts, that Gail McDonald and Marilyn Bushey have written Retirement Your Way: The No-Stress Roadmap for Designing Your Next Chapter and Loving Your Future.
