    192: The Soul of Wealth, with Daniel Crosby

    Dr. Daniel Crosby is a psychologist, behavioural finance expert, and New York Times bestselling author, who joins me to discuss his latest book, The Soul of Wealth.  Dr. Crosby, known for his groundbreaking insights into how psychological factors influence financial decisions, shares how his book explores the balance between monetary wealth and what he calls "soulful wealth"—the richness found in relationships, health, and personal fulfilment. With 50 short, actionable essays, The Soul of Wealth serves as a practical guide for those looking to rethink their relationship with money and align their finances with what truly matters in life. During our conversation, Daniel discusses key insights from his previous books, showing how behavioural finance helps retirees make smarter, goal-driven decisions. We explore how emotions can undermine financial success and how understanding our behaviour leads to better choices in retirement planning. From mastering delayed gratification to spending in ways that boost happiness, Daniel shares practical advice for redefining wealth beyond just pounds and pence.

    191: The Three Domains of Freedom - A Deep Dive with George Kinder

    George Kinder is a friend, mentor and widely recognised as the Father of the Financial Life Planning movement. For over 30 years, George has trained thousands of financial advisers from 30 countries in life planning, which enables them to help deliver freedom into their clients’ lives. George has published seven books, and central to most is this concept of freedom. His most recent book The Three Domains of Freedom sets out to empower readers to experience profound freedoms in their own lives and bring about positive change to our civilisation as a result. In our conversation we explore the book’s three core concepts, delve into the challenges of balancing mindfulness with future planning, the feeling of insignificance in a chaotic world, and the potential impact retirees can have on society. George also shares his vision for a more just and sustainable world and the practical steps he suggests for making that vision a reality.

    190: A Retirement Well Spent - Lessons from 4,000 Weeks with Oliver Burkeman

    I'm thrilled to have with us a guest whose work has profoundly shaped the way we think about time, productivity, and living a meaningful life. Oliver Burkeman is a renowned British journalist, author, and former columnist for The Guardian, best known for his groundbreaking book 4,000 Weeks, Time Management for Mortals. I loved this book and am honoured that Oliver joined me to share his story and research, and to introduce his latest book, Meditations for Mortals - Four Weeks to Embrace Your Limitations and Make More Time for What Counts, which has sparked a global conversation about the finite nature of our lives and how we can make the most of our limited time, especially as we enter the later stages of life. We chat about how life’s too short to wait for the “right” moment, especially for retirees and soon to be retirees, and Oliver urges us to live meaningfully now—not later. After all, time is finite.

    189: Embrace ageing with the Retirement Rebel

    Approaching retirement and frustrated with her job, Siobhan Daniels made a big decision: to start living life on her own terms. Rather than feeling broken, voiceless and hiding from life’s challenges, she took early retirement, swapped her possessions for a motorhome, and drove off to find them. Since that day five years ago, Siobhan has published a book she called Retirement Rebel: One woman, one motorhome, one great big adventure - an honest and uplifting story of how one woman stepped off the merry-go-round of life. Through her podcast, public speaking and book Siobhan is keen to show older women they can have their adventures and age positively.

    The Retirement Café Podcast – 186: Thinking your way to lasting health, with Professor Ellen Langer

    Do you believe you can heal faster just by tricking your brain? Could you lose weight with only a change of mindset? 
 Could you think yourself into being younger? 
 Can the power of your thoughts defy ageing? In short, have you ever wondered if you could improve your health by harnessing the power of your mind? When it comes to our health, too many of us feel trapped by a medical diagnosis, believing that it can only mean a static or worsening condition. Whether it is stiff knees, frayed nerves or failing eyesight, your mind can lead you to believe things will only get worse. But this week’s guest has proven through decades of scientific research that with practical steps you can take control of your mindset, by using your thoughts and perspective to help improve your wellbeing. Award-winning social psychologist Professor Ellen Langer has been studying the connection between the mind and body for over 4 decades as an esteemed psychologist at Harvard. Known as the "mother of mindfulness”, she is the author of 13 books, including her most recent release Mindful Body - Thinking Our Way to Lasting Health, which will help you navigate a path to improved health and wellbeing. We also explore the concept of risk as a personal phenomenon and its impact upon how we approach retirement planning.
