I think the concept of retirement (like so many things) has become distorted. There’s the buy a house in Florida and waste away in Margaritaville sense of retirement, and that deserves its reproach. But there’s also a Michel de Montaigne retirement, where you step back into a more reflective mode.

The type of work you do should change as you move into different life stages. We miss this subtlety because the word “work” is too flabby and imprecise. How can there not be confusion when you can work to run a company, work on a novel, and work on your golf swing.
