Learn moreIn preparation for retirement, we are often urged to build up our financial portfolio or perhaps down-size our home or move closer to family. Often neglected in this process, however, are the psychological ramifications that come with the transition into retirement. It is important for retirees to make a plan for their retirement financially, but also to take stock of their psychological portfolio at the same time. This means taking an honest look at how your sense of identity will change with retirement, how your relationships and support systems may change, and how your sense of purpose will be affected.
Revitalizing Retirement gives unique guidance on how to create a happy, fulfilling retirement. Counseling psychologist Nancy K. Schlossberg describes the secret to a happy retirement. She encourages listeners to reshape their identity, relationships, and purpose. She discusses several coping skills that deal with accepting change and help retirees continue to feel that they are vital members of their community and that they matter.
Each chapter contains stories from actual retirees that demonstrate the numerous ways of pursuing an enjoyable retirement. The book also includes short quizzes and discussion questions so that listeners can reflect on what they have learned and see exactly how it relates to their own lives.
Nancy K. Schlossberg, EdD, is an expert in the areas of adult transitions, retirement, career development, adults as learners, and intergenerational relationships.
