In one of the most significant social trends of the new century, and the biggest transformation of the American workforce since the women’s movement, members of the baby boom generation are inventing a new phase of work.

Encore tells the stories of encore career pioneers who are not content, or affluent enough, to spend their next thirty years on a golf course. These men and women are moving beyond midlife careers yet refusing to phase out or fade away. As they search for a calling in the second half of life and focus on what matters most, these individuals stand to transform the nature of work in America. They also hold the potential to create a society that balances the joys and responsibilities of contribution across the generations—in other words, one that works better for all of us.

Industry Reviews

"This book challenges baby-boomers to build a better world through a second career and provides concrete steps to help them find their next job."
"Library Journal "(Starred Review)
"Freedman has written a wonderful...guide for boomers entering their next phase of life....This thoroughly readable book is highly recommended."
"Minneapolis Star Tribune"
"Freedman persuasively argues that later years can offer freedom "to" work in more flexible, meaningful ways, rather than only a time to be free "from" work."
"The Seattle Times"
"Freedman presents a vision that is inherently optimistic, practical, productive and exciting."
"The Wall Street Journal"
"In the past decade, Mr. Freedman has emerged as a leading voice in discussions nationwide about the changing face of retirement."
Marci Alboher, "The New York Times"
"Marc Freedman has become the voice of aging baby boomers who are eschewing retirement for...meaningful and sustaining work later in life."
