SBOP LIVING

This book has been written with an intent to transform the lives of people reaching 55/60 years of age and to make the final phase of their life the Golden Phase of life, filled with purpose, fulfilment and happiness.

The book emphasizes several key practices to help people achieve SBOP Living, including developing an avocation, managing expectations, practicing kindness, empathy, forgiveness, and compassion (KEFC), cultivating tolerance, appreciation, and gratitude (TAG), and avoiding negative emotions like anger, resentment, hatred, and envy (HARE). The concept of “Semi Detachment in Life” (SDL) encourages a gradual and planned transition out of work life, allowing for a smoother integration into the next phase.

The book also highlights the importance of creating high points in life (memorable experiences and achievements), developing a guiding statement for life, and ensuring a legacy by leaving a positive impact on the lives of others. Finally, it concludes with a discussion on assessing the progress of one’s journey toward achieving SBOP Living through self-assessment and ongoing evaluation.

This book could not have come at a more appropriate time than this and is nothing short of a veritable feast. Interspersed with anecdotes and precious pearls of wisdom it shows a path which is empirically sound. Making most of life and realising that it is time to utilise than to accumulate whatever is available provides altogether a distinct perspective.

The book is amazing. You have successfully articulated your thought process in a very simple, yet effective language. The examples from your real life are self-explanatory and motivating. I think it's one of those rare books one would love to have in stock & read time & again to look for ways & means to live the SBOP way. I have already started quoting your experiences to my friends in the 55 plus age group.

SBOP LIVING is a treasure trove of wisdom! Your lucid language makes complex ideas like Hierarchy of Needs and moderation of AED accessible to all. Sharing invaluable life experiences and insights is the gift to readers. 'Leaving footprints' and 'Remaining desirable to the next generation' are thought provoking concepts. Your honest writing and directive to daughters about handling fading years are particularly impactful. This book deserves a place in every home for repeated reading and reflection.

Very inspiring & insightful! It guides perfectly in making one's life purposeful. Though we are aware about these principles, we are not ready to adopt them as there is fear in our mind that leaving one’s profession/job, there would be a big vacuum in life! But with practical examples from your own life, you have elucidated the need for SBOP Living past 55/60. I appreciate your efforts & wisdom in writing such a well-meaning philosophical book with such lucidity & practicality!
