Hey you got a second? Here, get on your knee and place your ear on the ground. Can you feel that vibration? Sure you can, you can almost hear it. You know what that is? It's the Baby Boomer generation coming...on a new trajectory. A couple years back that rumble was on a fast track toward retirement. While they are still on a life-transition course, retirement is no longer at the finish line. And you know what? That might not be a bad thing.
Every time that I visit Berrett-Koehler's (BK) Website, I discover a different nugget of gold. Here are a few words that I extracted out of their identity brochure:
A major theme of our publications is “Opening Up New
Space.” Our books challenge conventional thinking,
introduce new ideas, and foster positive change. Their
common quest is changing the underlying beliefs, mindsets,
institutions, and structures that keep generating
the same cycles of problems, no matter who our leaders
are or what improvement programs we adopt.
Opening Up New Space...how could one possibly cobble together four more pertinent words as to what Baby Boomers need to do on their road to life transitions? If you keep this theme in mind while you peruse BK's categories of Currents, Life and Business, you'll find a world of guidance and direction.
If I wanted a couple of guys to talk about the ins and outs of hitting a baseball, I'd recommend Ted Williams and Babe Ruth. If I wanted a couple of guys to talk about Baby Boomers and life transitions, I'd recommend Richard Bolles and Richard Leider. BK however, has already hooked up with them. Check it out:
