The column, FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE, had instant appeal from a broad spectrum of the public. The readership grew rapidly, crossing gender, age, background, and geographical lines. This volume contains a compilation of the most successful and noted published columns, From Our Perspective, covering a period of five years. Most of the pieces follow a pubic policy theme, either foreign or domestic. Included, are several columns of local interest, with overarching conceptual implications which cut across cultural lines. It can be said that the brilliance of the authors' writing style is only eclipsed by the quality and comprehensiveness of the substance. When reading these selections, there is no need to wonder, "Where is the beef?" One should note, there is a generational age difference between the authors but therein lies the unique creative strength of the two columnists as a team. It is the bridging of this generational gap, with the individual strengths and talents of each author, which adds vibrancy, relevance, and dynamism to the Heichberger/Burr team and contributes greatly to this combined writing venture.

The transition from work to retirement is a period in the adult lifespan during which changes can occur on many levels, including shifts in daily routines, relationships, and monthly income. What happens to core aspects of ourselves when the circumstances of life change in such a fundamental way? Do we hold on to core aspects of our identity, or do we adjust them to match new opportunities and constraints? This study examines the perceived continuity of a core aspect of the self - personal values - across a major transition in the adult lifespan - the transition from work to retirement. Personal values can be thought of as desirable, trans-situational goals that serve as guiding principles in people's lives. This study examined two main questions: 1) Do recent retirees see their values as similar or different compared to 10 years before retirement? And 2) Are specific values related to retirees' sense of well-being? This book is a summary of an empirical study and is therefore addressed primarily to a scientific audience of researchers in the field of adult development and aging. It should also be of interest, however, to organizations looking to address the psychological aspects of retirement planning, as well as to individuals who are approaching or living in retirement.

Psychologists and philosophers have both asked a fundamental question about the human experience -- what is the best way to live -- but have employed different methods of inquiry. Psychological research into this question has taken the form of empirical investigations in three main domains: (1) how wise and competent people live their lives; (2) the values that are embodied in the actions of wise people; and (3) the psychological benefits that come from following different values. Philosophical methods of inquiry, based on appeals to lived experience as presented anecdotally, through literature, and through analysis at the conceptual level, provide complementary ways of understanding wisdom and the values embedded therein. This chapter provides an integrative review combining empirical research related to wisdom and its inherent values with an analysis of wisdom and values from the philosophical tradition with a focus on Aristotelian virtue theory. The content includes both reviews of relevant literature and results from original data sets, illustrates the values inherent in both the psychological and philosophical approaches, and highlights the commonalities as well as current differences between these two methods of inquiry.
