A retired radiologist and passionate photographer, Dr. Agress shares lessons from his own retirement journey — from trying an improv class with 20-somethings to donating his art to hospitals — and offers you practical insights to help you shape a retirement that’s vibrant, purpose-driven, and truly your own.
You’ll discover:
How self-reflection and worksheets helped Dr. Agress navigate the transition into retirement
Why embracing “The Four Freedoms” can unlock a new mindset
The surprising benefits of trying new things — even improv!
A simple but powerful idea: the 8-minute phone call that can rekindle relationships
Why pursuing purpose — especially in service to others — fuels a more meaningful retirement
Whether you’re preparing for retirement or already in it, Dr. Agress offers a compelling vision of how to make your next chapter the best one yet.
