Summary

Our world is changing at a faster rate than ever before. In the last decade, empowered and perhaps enslaved by new technology, there have been whole paradigm shifts in the way we live our lives, communicate, and collaborate. Yet our approach to life-planning and our concept of retirement have failed to keep up. We are still following a retirement model from the age when technology meant recording the radio’s top 40 onto a cassette to play in your Sony Walkman.

Our understanding of health and aging has also been transformed. Yet, our current life and retirement planning pre-dates the decoding of the human genome and reflects a time when sports nutrition comprised top-class footballers drinking five pints of lager as a post-match hydration.

We now live in a world where it is normal for healthy 60-year-olds to do activities that used to be the realm of 30-somethings.

In this audiobook, Dominic Watson takes you on a very different retirement journey, one that is fun and leads to a dynamic and enthralling destination. He shows you how retirement can be done on your terms. Using incredible, real-life case studies, this audiobook will give you the insights on how to live the life you want.

Redefining retirement the Rock Star Way isn’t about turning life's amplifier down, it's about well and truly ramping it up to 11 and beyond!

What are you waiting for? Let's rock! Times have changed: "It is retirement, Jim, but not as we know it."

Not what I expected

Firstly let me say I don’t read a lot of ‘self help’ books. This one is refreshing in that it is all about the balance between attaining a level of financial security and actually living your life. Having established it’s not my preferred genre, I did learn some good things from this book, but my main takeaway is that it reinforced in my own mind how happy I am with the life choices I have made. That alone was well worth investing the time in listening to it. The anecdotes are easy to relate to, it is nicely put together and it is read beautifully.

I thought I was the only one!

What a read and listen! Much of the pre-emptive advice involved with many of the case studies could have been personally written for my scenario. Such insight which must be relevant for so many who are thinking about a strategy for retirement. This is a must if you are in your fifties! Well done.

Brilliant and inspiring. Everyone should read it!

This is an exceptional book that makes simple work of what we all seem to think is a really complex subject. It has inspired me to look closely at the way I run my life so I too can retire early (like a Rockstar)! I'd recommend that everyone reads this. It's beautifully written and the audiobook is extremely clear to understand. It's a great book and I cannot recommend it too highly. A big thank you to Dom Watson for changing the way I look to the future!

Brilliant!

I found this audio book so helpful to frame all of the conundrums related to how to ‘retire’ well. It’s as if all my ‘yes, buts….’ have been tackled head on. Some of them I did not even know I thought. It’s become a useful discussion point with my husband, as we reflect on our attitudes. I’ll be using some of the exercises to think through next steps…. and recommending to all my 50something friends. I might also recommend to my children so they understand why I’m suddenly going SKI-ing 😂
Well structured, amusingly written and read.

Thought provoking

This was completely different to what I expected. Not just a guide on how to retire right now (though that's in here), but also how to make the most of your remaining days whilst enjoying a high quality of life. Well researched and thought out, this is a unique book which will give plenty of food for thought.

A must read book before you retire

Informative and entertaining are 2 words that come to mind when describing the Rockstar Retirement Programme. I read this book thinking retirement was something that just happened at 67 or older once taxes increase to pay for the coronavirus bale out. But by the end of the first couple of chapters, Dominic made me realise retiring is a process not an outcome and that there were steps I could take now to make retirement worth looking forward to. He chooses case studies that make you wake up and smell the coffee. They are every day people who just decided to do things differently. Whether you are 27 or 47, this book is well worth reading.
