Relationships and purpose

Loneliness and loss of purpose are common after 50, and they affect physical health. This pillar deserves as much deliberate effort as your diet.

Common questions

  • How do I keep friendships going alongside work?
  • What comes after the career-building years?
  • How do I find new community after 50?

First steps

  1. One standing get-together a month that you never move.
  2. Write down what you still want to do in the next ten years.
  3. Find one form of exercise you do with someone else.
