Praise for Portfolio Life
"Dave Corbett's book turns two simple ideas into a program forlife-enrichment, that you can create a life expressly for yourselfand that the so-called retirement years are the best time to do it.Drawing on a lifetime of work with people who were rethinking whatthey wanted and their direction, he shows how to do both thosethings. Be warned: If you read the book, you're going to bechanged. But I think you'll like how you turn out."
--Bill Bridges, author, Transitions and Job Shift
"Dave's book reveals a powerful and profound formula for crafting agenuinely rich life. If you agree that retirement is passé,and you are a lifelong learner and have a desire to make your lifecount in a deeply fulfilling way, you will love this book."
--Fred Harburg, former chief learning officer and president,Motorola University
"Healthy, fit, financially secure, and happy for another 40 years?Is there really that kind of gold over 'them thar' hills? Yes, andPortfolio Life is the guide, leading boomers to a life path neverbefore traveled by so many. Don't pass 50 without it."
