Retirement: Different by Design - Six Building Blocks Fundamentally Changing How Life After Work is

Zusatztext “Any book on retirement planning that does not begin with a discussion of money is off to a good start, at least to our thinking. And so it is with Retirement: Different by Design .” —The Wall Street Journal “With its specifics on psychological, financial and lifestyle changes, there’s no better book to give the nearly-newly retired than Retirement: Different by Design ; it’s about making the most of change and accepting the attitude adjustments that come with it. [The book] explains and explores the entire process and offers many concrete keys to making the most of this end result, and should be read by any who contemplate making this big change.” —Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Reviews “Whether you are a war baby late to the retirement table or a baby boomer anticipating retirement, Retirement: Different by Design provides very useful guidelines to consider. [The book] inspires the reader to take and maintain a positive attitude towards this important phase of life, and to develop an agenda that will make these years meaningful. The writing is filled with good humor and wisdom.”  —Dr. Risa Palm, Georgia State University Informationen zum Autor Richard Steiner, Ph.D. Klappentext Transforming Retirement One Building Block at a Time Retirement is more than the absence of work-it's a different way of life requiring new vision, new purpose, and new life perspectives. You see, retirement is too important to leave to luck or circumstance; we have to plan and make them happen-our way. Retirement: Different By Design, your bridge to the "other side of work," presents two dynamic and innovative templates for moving seamlessly into retirement and beyond-"Retirement's Ages and Stages" and "Retirement's Six Fundamental Building Blocks." Providing practical strategies and answers, not more questions, each chapter delivers insights, tools, narratives, and models for making retirement the best years of the rest of our lives. And, it's not always about the money. Indeed, we all can live socially rich, emotionally balanced, intellectually nourishing, healthful, and physically active retirements no matter the size of our bank accounts-this is the new retirement reality that Retirement: Different By Design offers the soon-to-be and the already retired.

Think of it as a personal journey of discovery and consider this book your travel guide to retirement. The book identifies and examines three major retirement themes. First, it explores one of life’s most profound “Pivot Points,” moving from the world of work into the world of retirement; a transition that is perhaps easy for some and difficult for others. Retirement, while appearing to be a no-brainer, is anything but, and whether it ultimately succeeds or fails depends on understanding five critical concepts: (1) life as we know it will be different, and hopefully “good” different; (2) retirements don’t just happen, we have to make them happen; (3) retiring from work is easy, it’s living in retirement that can sometimes be troubling; (4) the behaviors and dogmas that served us well at work will not necessarily serve our best interests when retired; and (5) when we retire from something we have to retire to something—we must not v...
