ABOUT THE BOOK: RETIRE AND REALIGN
What happens when the alarm clock no longer rings? When the office is no longer yours, the meetings stop, and the title that once defined you becomes part of your past?
For many, retirement brings uncertainty, loneliness, and a loss of identity. Dr. Francis K. Sang refers to this pivotal moment as The Great Realignment—a defining season where every individual is invited to consciously rediscover purpose beyond their profession.
Through honest reflection and practical guidance, Retire and Realign encourages readers to confront the emotional, social, and spiritual challenges that often accompany retirement while embracing new opportunities for service, learning, mentorship, and personal fulfillment.
Rather than viewing retirement as the closing chapter of life, the book presents it as a fresh beginning—one where experience becomes influence, wisdom becomes legacy, and purpose continues long after a career has ended.
