At AROHE, we know that higher education retirees are assets of society who reinvent, NOT retire from, life, positively impact their communities and contribute to the greater good. Our dedicated bookshop embodies this ethos by focusing on lifelong learning and celebrating the literary achievements of our members. It is a vibrant hub where retirees' written works are promoted and shared, fostering a community deeply engaged in continuous intellectual growth and mutual support.

From Strength to Strength, Finding Success, Happiness and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life by Arthur Brooks.  Many of us assume that the more successful we are, the less susceptible we become to the sense of professional and social irrelevance that often accompanies aging. But the truth is, the greater our achievements and our attachment to them, the more we notice our decline, and the more painful it is when it occurs. What can we do, starting now, to make our older years a time of happiness, purpose, and yes, success?

Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and eastern wisdom, as well as dozens of interviews with everyday men and women, Brooks shows us that true life success is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain priorities and habits that anyone can learn, such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection and service to others, and spiritual progress, we can set ourselves up for increased happiness.
