Summary:
"Cultural messaging has traditionally reinforced the idea of the man as breadwinner and thusly, men of this generation have a particularly hard time making the
retirement
adjustment as they so often completely self-identify with their work. Sociologist Lyndsay Green sets out to demystify
retirement
for men and their partners, and provides an engaging and uplifting portrait of the emotional landscape of men in their sixties and seventies. While most books on this subject focus on finances, Green writes more about the psychological implications of
retirement
. More descriptive than instructional, the book is based on interviews with over sixty people, from age 56 to 88, living in cities, small towns and rural areas. A portrait of the emotional lives of men who are
retired
or are considering
retirement
, and the women (and men) they live with. Lyndsay Green is the author of You Could Live a Long Time: Are you
ready
? She lives in Victoria, B.C."--Provided by publisher.
