Babyboomers may be the first generation in danger of leaving the world worse off than they found it. Or so says Marc Freedman author of Encore and co-founder of Civic Ventures, a non-profit organization intent on creating a vital workforce committed to social change.
Freedman believes that Encore Careers are emerging as a major social movement (between mid-life and traditional retirement) that encourages boomers to use their skills and experience to contribute to a greater good. He calls it a "give-back revolution", a call to service that can be met through the power of practical idealism.
His book is filled with inspiring life stories of "encore pioneers" who are inventing a new stage of work and creating meaningful Act II careers. Check it out and be inspired too.
