'Retirement bad! Living good! Refreshingly salty, unapologetically un-woo-woo, and totally inspirational.' - Ben Miller, Actor, comedian and bestselling author 'As Shakespeare might have said, "To retire or not to retire that is the question"! Lyndsey Simpson's book is the perfect primer for answering that question - and more importantly what to do about it! At age 91, it even gave me some new ideas!' - Alan Patricof, American Venture Capital Investor 'We have added 30 healthy years to life expectancy in the last century alone.' Whether you're approaching retirement, navigating a career change, or simply wondering how to live a meaningful life in your later years, this book provides both the insight and the practical tools you need to thrive. It's not just about planning - it's about creating a life that defies expectations and maximises the incredible potential of your most experienced years. This book will empower you to reclaim control, make a new plan, and rewrite the rules of what's possible. The Age Rebellion is an inspiring, action-oriented approach to breaking free from outdated narratives about growing older. Through a refreshing blend of personal insight and practical advice, this book reflects a new global movement. It is a practical, inspiring guide helping readers find an alternative to traditional retirement and redesign your future, your way. It shows how you can live a life of continued growth, productivity, and impact, no matter what your age. Written by entrepreneur, public speaker, and corporate consultant Lyndsey Simpson, this book is for anyone approaching mid or later life and feeling unsure about what the future holds for their life and work, seeking inspiration. Lyndsey invites the reader to challenge outdated myths about what it means to retire - the retirement rainbow, as she calls it - and question society's expectations of us as we reach this pivotal point in our lives. By teaching us how to plan for a future that we're excited about, rather than fearful of, readers will feel confident in boldly stepping into a new, empowered chapter of their lives. Ready to join the Age Rebellion? Let's rewrite the narrative of what it means to grow older, together.

About the Author

Lyndsey Simpson, CEO of 55/Redefined, is a driving force and powerful voice on one of the most urgent and under-debated topics of our time: widespread ageism in the workplace and an unrealistic expectation of retirement by the individual.

Passionate about changing attitudes towards the over 50s in the workplace Lyndsey through her company 55/Redefined has worked with some of the world's biggest companies from AXA to Amazon through to Barclays and Diageo enabling them to develop a new age strategy for over 50s talent and consumers alike. She has been

widely quoted in the business press for her mantra: "if you haven't got an age strategy, you haven't got a growth strategy."
