I'm Not Done Yet and You Shouldn't Be Either Inspires People over 50 to Dream Bigger, Reach Higher

NORWALK, Conn., Sept. 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cynthia Barnett, Ph.D., is a leading authority and role model on how to refire and reinvent oneself, particularly after 50. The latest chapter of her refired life—which includes her nonprofit program that helps girls develop an interest in science, technology, engineering, art, and math—is her new book, I'm Not Done Yet and You Shouldn't Be Either (Aviva Press).

Barnett says, "Retirement is no time to slow down. It can be the best time to take your dreams off the back burner and live them!"

In I'm Not Done Yet and You Shouldn't Be Either, Barnett offers practical strategies for doing exactly that along with questions for self-reflection. Her beautifully written book also details her own struggles and the lessons she learned from them. Barnett grew up on the island of St. Vincent in the Caribbean and endured a period without her mother, who had gone to America to find work. The family eventually moved to the U.S. Barnett would go on to learn powerful lessons from struggling to get accepted into a U.S. university, raising children, surviving divorce and ultimately rising to the top of her field.

Already featured in the Wall Street Journal and Time magazine and other media, Barnett can answer these questions in an interview:

• What are the secrets of people who go on to achieve big dreams that anyone can use?
• How can people harness the benefits of tough times they have endured?
• What are some of the keys to embracing refirement?
• What is the story behind the blue uniform on your book cover?
