Written in a spirit of humility, OK Boomer!: Diverse Reflections From Five Aging Baby Boomers is the non-fiction collaboration of five retired professionals who achieved great success in medicine, science, law, business, academia, and more. Each of the co-authors has written an essay offering life perspectives as food for thought. Though the essays have wide appeal, the target audience is the generations who follow (Gen Z, millennials, etc.) as they inexorably march toward retirement, a time in life we baby boomers have already reached.
Each essay offers a unique perspective. The first is an autobiographical ramble that exemplifies how life is filled with unpredictable twists and turns. The second essay focuses on our physical experience on the Planet Earth-from its beginning to climate change and other challenges that threaten our very survival. The third essay is a discussion of the law, the tenuous glue that holds us together as a society, including commentary about the autocratic rule that threatens our democracy. The fourth essay concerns health care and its many components, arguably the most important concern in a person's lifetime. The final essay discusses the reality of retirement, a time in life we all face and the need to plan for it long before it happens.
OK Boomer! gathers the informative insights of five aging Baby Boomers; while they cannot provide all the answers to existential questions, they offer a mindful perspective gleaned from a wide range of professional successes and lived experiences.
