Dr. Morton Shaevitz has dedicated over three decades to fostering growth and transformation, impacting individuals and organizations through his roles as a clinician, author, consultant, and speaker. His early work explored gender dynamics in personal and professional spheres, culminating in a pioneering book on the subject co-authored with his wife. His focus later shifted to medical and geriatric psychology, where he has become a significant figure, advocating for robust behavioral health programs and holding leadership positions in professional organizations. Currently, his work champions a philosophy of active aging, emphasizing continued development and purpose throughout later life.
In this reissue of his popular book, H.V. Morton goes in search of Ireland by motor-car and finds, amongst other things, a Norman village in Galway, lobster fishers, a girl in need of an apron in Connemara and a great many beds in which Michael Collins is said to have slept.
Refire! Don’t Retire asks readers the all-important question: as you look at the years ahead, what can you do to make them satisfying and meaningful? Ken Blanchard and Morton Shaevitz point out that some people see their later years as a time to endure rather than as an exciting opportunity. Both research and common sense confirm that people who embrace these years with energy and gusto—rather than withdrawing and waiting for things to happen—consistently make the rest of their lives the best of their lives. In the trademark Ken Blanchard style, the authors tell the compelling story of Larry and Janice Sparks, who discover how to see each day as an opportunity to enhance their relationships, stimulate their minds, revitalize their bodies, and grow spiritually. As they learn to be open to new experiences, Larry and Janice rekindle passion in every area of their lives. Readers will find humor, practical information, and profound wisdom in Refire! Don’t Retire. Best of all, they will be inspired to make all the years ahead truly worth living.
