Untethered Aging (The Untethered Aging Series)

I purchased “Untethered Aging,” wanted to hear what you had to say re finances. Initially I jumped right to that section, but enjoyed your style of writing so much that I had to return to the beginning of book...and the middle... and the end! You have a lot to say, in such an easy, simple style, it’s a joy to read. And you touch upon…everything! This book is not just for seniors. If I were a kid just starting out in the world, I’d want this book - a sensical guide to what I was going to have to deal with, no kidding.

“Untethered Aging” is a guide to creating your unique picture of what a life of ongoing wellbeing means…and then it provides specific steps to make that your reality. This is a practical companion to deal with the realties of aging with self-sufficiency, solutions and mindfulness. The author encourages (insists!) that you hold yourself accountable as you examine the many pieces of your Life Pie: physical, financial, spiritual, relationship, psychological, mental, social, legacy. I particularly appreciate Chapter 36 on “Soaring” and the thoughts it engenders for mindset and positivity during this lifelong journey.

Great read! Will Keiper’s new book is a detailed, fact, and data-driven guide to the financial realities of the 95 million Americans 55+. It includes a very actionable plan for ‘how-to’ take control in 30 minutes a day. The thirty-six bite-sized chapters are delivered in three engaging sections that make ‘Untethered Aging’ hard to put down. If you’re one of the 97% of Americans who spend NO TIME on financial wellness, stop watching TV for two hours and read this book! It will “enrich” your life as a senior.

Untethered Aging is a fascinating work by William Keiper a talented author in the genres of transformation, self-help and aging. In this book he takes the reader from the current state of our world, "A New Normal" with many eye opening facts, research and data driven points. Next he moves the reader to "Your Money and Your Life" which is a profound study of the financial realities we are living with and through today and into the future. The last part Carpe Vitam (Seize Life) poses eternal questions that each of us face and gives plausible tools to reframe our lives with a new sense of purpose and freedom.

As a geriatric clinician and “gently aging” person I found Mr. Keiper’s book to be chock full of wisdom and a welcome alternative to the “gloom and doom” approach many books on aging take. The breath of topics covered will address just about any concern you may have about the later years and the action guides are easy and full of helpful facts.

.......I'll call myself out up front as having read this book during its creation which allowed me to receive the honor of writing its foreword....but that fact does not diminish or bias my enthusiasm for it. I am in my 70s myself, and havealready applied so much of this book to my life! This book will help everyone over 50 (and anyone who wants to help anyone they know or love who is older) see something very inspiring: age really is just a number, so you can have your best years at the end which is how it should be. This is not a pump you up, motivational cheerleading type of book. (Even though that might be the final effect.) Will Keiper is a brilliant business consultant who lays all the facts on the table before giving you is analysis of what reality is, and based on that alone, what's possible.This book presents the challenges senior citizens are faced with with fearless, and sometimes scary clarity andprojection. But then he develops solutions for each and every one of them, and the solutions are practical and doable and even exciting. This book sure worked for me.

This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Well-written, lots of facts yet easy to read and comprehend. We’ve all experienced unprecedented change in the last year and we need to adapt and make the changes work for us. I found Will’s thoughts on our next 30 years compelling and motivational. I’ve heard this before, many people go on to their greatest achievements later in life. As Will ends the book...... “open yourself to living your remaining years in freedom… free in your mind... free to serve others… and free to be happy and very much alive.”

A lot of books are labeled as “thought provoking” and while Untethered Aging fits that label as well, I think of it more as “provoking thought”. Days after I have read it, the content continues to make me think! Great resource with solid factual data.
