Go Back to School with Richard Eisenberg

Hello and welcome back to another episode of 'Age Better’ where each week we take a deep dive into all the ways we can feel better, look better, live better, and age better. I'm your host, Barbara Hannah Grufferman.

A few weeks ago, I read a terrific article written by Richard Eisenberg, who is my guest on the show today. In it, he talked a bit about the different paths people tend to take when they retire. Some go on to other jobs. Many find ways to serve by doing volunteer work. Some do actually play more golf.

And yet others decide to take the “self-improvement” route and go back to school. In his article, Richard wrote about one school in particular that I found fascinating, and that is what we talk about today.

Here is a bit more information about Richard Eisenberg:

View from Unretirement" column for MarketWatch and writes regularly about
