Summary: "Rethinking Retirement for Positive Ageing is a practical guide that shows you how to make retirement successful, based on the most up-to-date research available. It encourages a deeper and wider view of retirement and reveals how retirement can be a time of transition, renewal and re-imagination. Written by career coach Dr Denise Taylor, it considers the psychological factors that impact a successful adjustment to retirement and offers a deeper analysis of how people can find meaning and purpose after full-time work. It examines retirement as an event that often brings about great changes in a person's personal and social life, and how to move forward with meaning in life. Illustrated with interviews, activities and case studies, and with exercises and questions for reflection, it covers key topics including identity, health, well-being, finances and relationships. This insightful guidebook is for all prospective and current retirees as well as employers, careers professionals and counsellors who want to help people reflect on their approaches to retirement"--
