Retiring: Creating a Life That Works for You

About the Book

Retirement, as a major life transition, can be both exciting and challenging in unexpected ways. Written by experts in business leadership, careers, and work, this book goes beyond financial and health advice to offer deep insights into the broader aspects of retirement—addressing identity, relationships, and creating a fulfilling post-career life structure.

With engaging prose, the book shares retirement stories of 14 individuals and draws on over 200 interviews to explore how retirement requires personal and structural reinvention. You’ll gain valuable wisdom on the four key phases: deciding to retire, detaching from work, building a new, provisional life structure, and settling into a stable but adaptable retirement.

Each chapter highlights how the interplay of self, life structure, and external context shapes the transition, showing that retirement satisfaction depends on their alignment. It also explores the critical roles of family, friends, and organizations in supporting this shift.

This book is for anyone seeking deeper insights and practical guidance on the psychological, social, and life-restructuring aspects of retirement. It’s also a valuable resource for family, friends, helping professionals, and leaders supporting retiring individuals.
