Produktbeschreibung

Lucinda Jackson, a harried scientist and business executive, sets off to make a break from her corporate decades and have an extraordinary retirement. She launches into a five-phase Project Escape, complete with a vision, goals, and a scorecard of success to deliver this next chapter. Soon, Jackson and her semi-reluctant husband of thirty years are off as volunteers to the government of the Pacific island country of Palau. But while Jackson got the girl out of the corporation, even the jolt of Palau can't fully get the corporation out of the girl. As she struggles through self-examination around purpose, identity, ego, marriage, and parenthood after years of investing so much in career, Jackson gradually learns who she is again. Whether you're thinking ahead to retirement or are already there, Project Escape provides an unvarnished but ultimately encouraging reference in navigating the post-career era.
