Anthony and I discuss the dimensions of Daniel Kahneman's legacy; the man, his work, and his impact. The conversation ranges from how Kahneman's childhood interaction with a Nazi officer spurred his work on happiness, how Anthony and I read and re-read the books written by and about Kahneman, the different ways we have each applied the lessons we have learnt from him, and what Kahneman's death will mean going forward.

In this conversation with Andrew Rutter we discuss a handful of retirement-related issues that are drawn from the intersection of his and my books on the topic.
We cover:
* Ways to “reframe” retirement. Why thinking about it as one of a series of life transitions can help.
* Retirement mindsets. Do we need to wait ‘til retirement to enjoy life? How should we think about trade-offs with our time & happiness?
* Leaving a legacy. Should we be concerned about what goes on our tombstone, or just let it go?
* Some challenges. What if you want to pass on your wisdom, but nobody wants to listen? For whose benefit is this wisdom transfer?
* The role of planning. How detailed and specific should a plan be, versus flexible and vague? Should it be short or long-term?
* Understanding motivation. Do I really need to know why I like watching the waves crash on the beach, or feel satisfaction from climbing a mountain?
The conversation is relevant for super funds, financial advisers and people thinking about their own future retirement.
