America’s boomers have redefined every stage of life in America, and they are now changing the aging game. Reboot! lays out the new rules. Rule #1: Keep working!
This review by John Mariotti, CEO, The Enterprise Group, award-winning author of The Complexity Crisis, and former President of Huffy Bicycles
Why is Reboot! so great? Because people see themselves aging and wonder, "Is that all there is?" or “What do I do now?” Phil Burgess provides a surprising and uplifting answer to those questions – and it is not retirement. Reboot! is a must-read and perfect gift for anyone who even has a...
This review by Chaplain Norman F. Brown, U.S. Navy (ret.)
As retirement approached, a life of leisure looked less and less attractive. My friend Phil Burgess answered my prayers with Reboot! Intriguing, inspiring, and enjoyable to read, Reboot! gives real hope and shows why work in later life is good for the body and the spirit.
This review by Jeff Sandefer, Co-founder & Master Teacher, Acton School of Business
Phil Burgess has it exactly right. The last chapters of a life well lived should not be about retirement and decay; they should be about the joy of sharing your gifts, insights, and love with the generation that follows.

This review by Martin L. “Chip” Doordan, CEO, Anne Arundel Health System
Reboot! has an important message for those thinking about their post-career years: What you want to be in your bonus years is much more important than what you want to do or what you want to have. Phil’s book gave me new and helpful ways to approach this transition in my own life.
What do you do when your career is over but your life isn't?
It’s better to wear out than rust out.” That is the message of Reboot! While American culture glamorizes the “Golden Years” of endless leisure and amusement, Phil Burgess rejects retirement, as he makes the case for returning to work in the post-career years, a time he calls later life.
