Books by Tim Drake

Tim Drake has co-founded and run businesses, think tanks and charities. He is a keynote speaker to business audiences around Europe on personal and group motivation, and unlocking potential. He believes that many people feel, like he does, that they have unrealised potential, and that they are looking at ways to release it. Now in his seventies, he still sees himself as a promising youngster and like many people nowadays, intends on thinking and behaving like someone much younger. He is putting more into life, and getting more out of it. Generation Cherry is his fourth book, and he had the most fun writing it, tackling the opportunities that come with a population that is living 10, 20 or 30 healthy years after retirement. Ostensibly it's about getting a second bite of the cherry of life for people approaching retirement, or finding themselves redundant, but as it evolved it became wider in its relevance. Because many of the challenges facing 40, 50, 60. 70, and 80 year olds are also facing younger generations. How do you retain a sense of control in your life, when the old stabilities of conventional jobs and career development are dissolving around you? How do you live positively with Income uncertainty? Tim shares some of the answers in Generation Cherry. He is married with two grown up daughters, and lives in London.
