Every year, millions of Americans retire-and many of them wonder
what went wrong. This book deals with the issues of purpose and
structure, self-esteem, emotional and social roles, resources, and
the special issues of women who retire. Based on the results of a
survey of successful retirees, it helps readers to learn from their
experiences and benefit from their own hard-won wisdom. Every year,
millions of Americans retire-and many of them wonder what went
wrong. What they envisioned as a graceful pirouette into the golden
years often leads instead to a rude awakening. Why? We all know
about financial planning for retirement, but emotional and social
planning is just as important. This book deals with the issues of
purpose and structure, self-esteem, emotional and social roles,
resources, and the special issues of women who retire. Based on the
results of a survey of successful retirees, it helps readers to
learn from their experiences and benefit from their own hard-won
wisdom. In many ways, today's retirees are pioneers, charting new
courses for their unprecedented long futures. This book looks at
the changing faces, definitions, and models of retirement in order
to help those who are looking forward to their own. It enables
readers to identify and avoid some of the typical pitfalls of
retirement: moving too quickly from a fast-paced schedule to a life
of total leisure; giving up home, friends, and community to move to
a strange location; expecting your spouse to cooperate with your
own retirement plans; and doing too much-or too little.
