About the Book

Retire Often is your guide to unlocking a life of freedom and fulfilment, without sacrificing ambition or career progress.

Book Synopsis

Retire Often is your guide to unlocking a life of freedom and fulfilment, without sacrificing ambition or career progress. Why do we have to work for 40 years and only retire once? Why can't we take occasional career breaks to focus on the other areas of life that matter: family, friends, adventure, rest, hobbies, our health, and achieving long-held dreams? And what if there was a way of doing so that not only avoided financial or career downsides - but brought profound upsides? Author Jillian Johnsrud has walked the walk - taking numerous mini retirements that have unlocked work-life balance and a more purposeful life, while also helping rather than hindering her career thanks to simple steps and practical principles that anyone can follow. She has coached hundreds of people to achieve the same, and in Retire Often she shares everything you need to make the most of every season of life by retiring not once - but often.

About the Author

Jillian Johnsrud never expected to be able to retire early, so she hatched a plan to retire often. Inspired by the idea of sabbatical years, she set out to sprinkle our retirements throughout her and her husband's working lives. At 40, they have taken over a dozen mini-retirements. These allowed them to pursue dreams like living abroad, traveling to 27 countries, adopting four kids (plus two biological kids), investing in real estate, and traveling the U.S. in a camper. Jillian has taught, coached, and wrote about mini-retirements for almost a decade. She hosts the Retire Often podcast and is a popular speaker and consultant for mini-retirements. She lives in Montana, where she spends time in the garden drinking tea.
