Reinventing Retirement: Special Edition on 2^nd Annual Positive Aging Conference

It has been a tough few weeks for optimists, but our favorite remedy in difficult times is to focus on what matters in our own lives.  With that in mind, consider this your invitation to spend Wednesday, November 12, with some leading figures in the positive aging movement and take away reasons for renewed optimism.  Join Richard Bowles, author of What Color is Your Parachute, Richard Leider, author of Something to Live For: Finding Your Way in the Second Half of Life and Dan Buettner, author of The Blue Zones: Unlocking the Secrets of Longevity, among others, and get yourself into a healthy, more purposeful frame of mind.
