The Rainbow Years – the pluses of being 50+, Barrie Hopson (with Mike Scally)
The over 50s living in the UK today are unique. They live longer, have more money, enjoy better health and have more leisure time than any previous generation. But, even with all these advantages, how can they help ensure that this stage of life proves as exciting and fulfilling as it should be? The Rainbow Years – the pluses of being 50+ aims to help the over 50s do just that. Following on from the highly successful Build Your Own Rainbow, Barrie Hopson and Mike Scally provide a wealth of information, ideas and activities to help the 50+ generation live life the way they want to.
The authors identify the seven key areas of life – Work, Money, Health, Relationships, Learning, Leisure and Spirituality – and provide up-to-date research data, self-assessment activities and exercises as well as signposts to abundant additional resources for each area. Interactive and fun, The Rainbow Years is more than just thought provoking, it is potentially life changing.
The Live Happier Workbook, Barrie Hopson (with Mike Scally)
‘Happiness’ is suddenly on everyone’s lips – even politician’s! But it has been the eternal quest of every generation since the first human beings. How to find it, how to keep it, how to help others find it.
People have sought happiness through wealth, power, success, travel, love and passion, security, adventure, beauty – indeed every aspect of life. All that energy and experience has proved that there are no easy answers, no magic formulas. But what we do have now, to accompany the wisdom of the ages, is modern, scientific evidence from Positive Psychology. We now do have the answers to the questions:
- “How achievable is happiness?”
- “What are the components of happier living?”
- “What are the strengths, attitudes and skills of those who live happy, creative, flourishing lives?
- “How can we live happier?
We offer these and more in this book.
