Your Keys, Our Home by Debbie and Michael Campbell Pdf

If you've ever dreamed of casting off your worldly possessions and traveling to your heart's content, this story about two intrepid seniors will inspire you no matter your age. Michael and Debbie Campbell felt they had one more adventure in them before considering retirement in the traditional sense, so they filled two rolling duffel bags with life's essentials (including their own pillows) and hit the road. Three years later, having sold their home in Seattle, their "Senior Nomad" lifestyle has no end in sight. Ride along as they share tales of living full-time in Airbnbs in over 50 countries and pay tribute to the many hosts who not only helped them live daily life, but also offered unique opportunities to experience their cities. From the barber's chair in Dublin and the dentist's chair in Split, to a wild motorcycle ride in Athens, a peek behind the Soviet Curtain in Transnistria, and the demise of a chicken for dinner in Marrakech, hosts made the Campbell's dream of adventure come true. Discover how Debbie and Michael find their next Airbnb, how they get there, and the many ways they enjoy their new city just as the locals do. Learn their tips and tricks for using Airbnb and how they get the most out of each stay, all while spending little more than they would have spent settled into their rocking chairs in Seattle.

Financial Tales by Carlos Sera Pdf

"A few years ago I embarked on a project to teach my children everything I knew about investing and personal finance. As you read this book, you will immediately recognize it is unlike any other investment and personal finance book you have ever encountered. The book gets its title Financial Tales because the financial lessons revealed are all told in the form of tales. We teach through tales because throughout history our greatest teachers have taught through stores, fables and parables. It is a powerful way to learn because it encourages immediate, positive and long-lasting action. In doing so, we are able to relate to the stories, either personally or by observation of others and thus gain practical skills. My goal today is to demystify a complex topic and for you to gain access to the same investment and personal finance knowledge previously reserved for family, close friends and clients. I hope you share it with all those dear to you." -Carlos Sera, author of Financial Tales These tales will also help you: Develop a sustainable relationship with money Understand financial markets Manage your investments intelligently and by yourself Identify and hire expert advisors if you choose to work with one Work productively with your expert advisor Create a game winning financial team Retire intelligently and with abundance Prepare for the unexpected Learn accountability and develop good habits Pick the right college and insurance policy Overcome the biggest obstacle to investment success Learn to say "no" when you want to say "yes"

Retirement Experiences of Psychologists by Rodney R. Baker,Patrick H. DeLeon Pdf

Today, almost all Americans can expect to live longer and healthier lives than their parents or grandparents ever thought possible, which introduces an entirely new realm of opportunities and challenges than previously contemplated. Although often underappreciated, how this new generation of well-educated, longer living citizens will ultimately decide to develop personally satisfying lives, beyond relying upon traditional jobs and employment colleagues for meaningful affirmation in retirement, is truly uncharted territory. There are few role models or societal expectations for these unprecedented times—especially for women and ethnic minorities. This volume brings together distinguished senior psychologists from a wide range of former occupational positions to share their personal retirement experiences—their struggles, their aspirations, their eventual journeys. Many do not consider themselves “retired”—and some even suggest the concept of retirement itself needs examination and refinement. Advances in technology, frustrating physical ailments, and missing friends influence late life decisions. However, even when facing existential unknowns, each of the authors remains optimistic and open to seeking new directions in their lives. How they navigate their individual journeys in retirement suggests some common themes and pathways, although there are also many individual nuances. The unique personal story approach in this book enables the reader to share the concerns of retirement with each author and find out how they resolved those concerns in seeking a meaningful retirement. It is comforting to learn that there is no one path that applies to everyone. The authors share their thinking and decision-making in approaching their retirement and provide multiple guides for the reader to consider. Readers will also appreciate that “retiring to” something, instead of “retiring from” something, provides a new perspective in examining and shifting life and work goals in later life.

The Institutional Dynamics of Culture, Volumes I and II by Perri Six Pdf

These two volumes present the most important recent developments in the institutional theory of culture and demonstrate their practical applications. Sometimes called 'grid-group analysis' or 'cultural theory', they derive from the work of Durkheim in the 1880s and 1900s and develop the insights of the anthropologist Mary Douglas and her followers from the 1960s on. First redefined within social and cultural anthropology, the theory's influence is shown in recent years to have permeated all the main disciplines of social science with substantial implications for politics, history, business, work and organizations, the environment, technology and risk, and crime and consumption. Today, the institutional theory of culture now rivals the rational choice, Weberian and postmodern outlooks in influence across the social sciences.
