This book is just what I needed. While other books have given me good advice, in Afterwork, Joel and Alex have given me handles on how to live my next phase of life with purpose, structure, and joy. Rather than retreating or withdrawing until my dying days, Afterwork gives me hope and the confidence that I still matter. Afterwork has breathed new life into me for the days ahead, and I can’t wait to develop its recommended habits and then teach those same habits to others.

Joel and Alex have more than 30 years of combined wealth management and financial planning experience. As cofounders of EverOak Wealth Co.—which has nearly $1 billion in assets under advisement—they help advance the financial health of their clients so they can boldly pursue their unique purpose. With their new book, Afterwork, Joel and Alex are on a mission to help those planning to retire better prepare for the non-financial side of life.

“This outstanding book walks you through ten cornerstone habits for retirement, written by financial planners who don't talk about financial planning but talk about everything else that is much more important. We used this book as a small group conversation guide for those who are retired or soon to be retired."

Afterwork was a great book, offered smooth writing, and was an enjoyable read. Good insights and valuable information for use even after retirement. I love the way they were able to weave being generous, thankful living, and good stewardship into creating a rewarding retirement.”

“Joel and Alex have shared their learning in an engaging, helpful way. My wife and I were stretched and challenged, gaining a lot of practical wisdom and insights. This is the kind of book that's enjoyable to read and full of easy-to-apply ideas to help bring meaning to what, for many, is the final third of life.”

“You can tell by reading this book that the authors aren't dealing with a dollars-alone or pie-eyed view of retirement. They have applied their years of financial counseling to seek the other component to a rich retirement--the richness of purpose. I appreciated their practical stories of real people. This isn't a "how-to" book as if life can be mastered on our own. This is a book that stimulates vision from healthy practices. I have used it and benefitted from it--enough so that I have purchased copies for friends and acquaintances. A solid recommendation for a solid piece of thinking and writing."

I recently sold my business and no longer work (yep, I guess I am retired). It is not what I thought. If you think you will retire and just fish or golf or whatever, you may be in for a surprise. These authors explain that without a purpose in life it can seem meaningless. I am finding so many truths about life after work and sorting out my emotions. As I LOVED my job, retirement is challenging. GET THIS BOOK!

“I loved this book. The author helps guide you on what is important to you in your retirement and not just another "how much money do I need to retire" book. Insightful perspective that will help people who are not sure what they want out of retirement. I bought 3 books for my nephews who are in their early 50's and starting to think more about retirement. This book will help them plan better and enjoy retirement more. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about retirement.”
