The Psychology of Retirement: Edition 2
Kuhusu kitabu pepe hiki
This new edition of The Psychology of Retirement looks at this life stage as a journey that involves challenges, opportunities, setbacks, periods of disenchantment and, often, exciting new beginnings. Updates include a new chapter on the ‘old age’ stage of life as well as end-of-chapter tips and things to think about, case studies of retirees and pre-retirees, and new statistics including the effects of COVID and homeworking. Taking a positive approach, the book explores how retirement provides opportunities to cultivate new friendships, interests and hobbies, consolidate and renegotiate long-held ones, and even re-invent oneself in a post-work environment. It also emphasizes the value of pre-retirement planning, and the importance of establishing new goals and purposes.
Retirement can be a period of significant psychological growth and development, and The Psychology of Retirement shows how it can herald the beginning of a vibrant and active stage of life.
