Thrive Pocket Guide to
Flourishing in
Retirement
The Thrive Pocket Guide is a field book for anyone stepping into the uncharted territory of retirement. Blending insight with action, it helps you navigate the shift from career identity to personal fulfillment. At its core is the Thrive Compass—a self-diagnostic tool that points you toward growth across six dimensions of well-being. Paired with a collection of practical “Remedies,” it guides you to uncover what matters most, reshape old patterns, and build a daily rhythm of purpose and joy.
This isn’t about slowing down—it’s about building forward. With wisdom born of both counseling expertise and lived experience, Beth Eifert shows how to flourish in this new stage of life. Whether you seek greater clarity, stronger health, or deeper relationships, you’ll find exercises, reflections, and trail markers to help you thrive.
Whatever your background, The Thrive Pocket Guide will help you craft a life that is as meaningful as it is adventurous.
