Covey is a cofounder of CoveyLink and the FranklinCovey Global Speed of Trust Practice. A sought-after and compelling keynote speaker and adviser on trust, leadership, ethics, sales, and high performance, he speaks to audiences around the world.

This book is packed with wise advice for anyone staring down the barrel of retirement. I agree wholeheartedly with Hyrum Smith: you may be retired, but you can still live with meaning, purpose and energy. - Marshall Goldsmith, executive coach, business educator and New York Times-bestselling author, ranked the number one leadership thinker in the world by Thinkers50 Hyrum is really on to something in his new book Purposeful Retirement because Baby Boomers are signing up for Social Security at a rate of 10,000 a day. But many continue to work because 65 is the new 50. In fact, multiple retirements are all the rage. I know because I've retired three times and have finally graduated to semi-retired status. Written in a lively and engaging style, there is much wisdom in this book. -Bob Ulin, Chmn/CEO, Center for Transitional Leadership, Inc. Hyrum has hit another home run!
