We want to tell you about our new and very different book – What’s Next…For You? The Gussin Guide to Big Changes, Big Decisions, and Big Fun.
We know that Pat usually writes Thrillers and Bob writes Humor, but we thought that you might be interested in how we changed careers from medicine and medical research to books and wine after our fleeting retirement in 2000. By 2005, we had written novels, started a publishing company, and purchased two vineyards in New Zealand. In What’s Next…For You?, we tell you how that happened and, perhaps, might be able to entice you to consider some changes, too.
Take a look at some information about “What’s Next” below. Don’t worry, it’s not the typical boring guide to help you consider what could be ahead for you. It’s a fun read and can really get you thinking. So take a look. And don’t be afraid to move on to that Big Fun!
What’s Next…For You? is the incredible story of Robert and Patricia Gussin, two “retirees” who watched with glee as long, successful careers in science and medicine gave way to writing, publishing, and winemaking.
Much more than a memoir and anything but a how-to-start-a-business manual, What’s Next…For You? is a clear, easy-to-understand guide to reinventing yourself from real experts—two people who did it themselves and lived to tell the glorious tale.
Through the engaging, first-person, he said/she said narrative, Robert and Patricia Gussin deliver an inspirational guide filled with advice on why it’s never too late to reinvent yourself, and why doing what you love (and loving what you do) is always within reach.
A must-read tale of joyfully switching gears, changing careers, and overcoming “paralysis by analysis,” What’s Next…For You? takes the mystery out of that all-too-common question of how to get from where you are to where you want to be.
Here’s what a couple of well known folks have to say about the book.
"What's Next...For You? is a book for two groups of people. Those who haven't retired - and those who have". - Philip Kotler, S.C. Johnson & Son Distinguished Professor of International Marketing, Northwestern University Kellogg Graduate School of Management, and Founder, Kotler Marketing Group
“There are many possible paths to take in retirement. The Gussins have chosen to be adventurers and completely change their lives. Their story is compelling, and for those ready for a major change, this book can serve as your inspiration.” - Nancy K. Schlossberg, author of Revitalizing Retirement: Finding Your Identity, Relationships and Purpose
