"This book helps to bridge the scary gap between your work life and what you hope to build in retirement: a sense of purpose, passionate activities, warm relationships, well-being, and a feeling of fulfilment. In retirement, the scaffolding of our lives is dismantled and must be rebuilt. Gone are our colleagues, identity, title, power, security, income, roles, status, and recognition. No wonder so many people hit an uncomfortable period of disorientation in retirement, a time of disenchantment and uneasiness. Not what they were anticipating! Between these covers you’ll find research and stories to inspire, inform, and embolden you: 10 emotional and social challenges faced in retirement ; 3 components of well-being and happiness ; A retirement coach’s insights from years of work in the field ; Tales from those already retired, revealing their challenges and lessons learned ; A light-hearted romp through one man’s life, from before retirement through to 4 years post-retirement ; Self-coaching questions that tether the stories and information to your own retirement plans. This book is an ideal gift for anyone nearing retirement or newly retired."--Publisher.
