Ready to Retire?: What You and Your Spouse Need to Know About the Reality of Retirement

Lyndsay Green

4.9/5 (9224 ratings)

Description:Ready to Retire?The New Reality of Retirement and What You and Your Spouse Need to Know.According to the 2011 Canadian census, there are over 1.7 million men aged 60 to 69 in Canada. That means that hundreds of thousands of men are retiring from their jobs, or will soon be dealing with this stage of life. Because cultural messaging reinforces the idea of the man as bread winner and having a job, men have a particularly hard time making the retirement adjustment as they so often completely self-identify with their work.In light of this cultural trend, bestselling author and sociologist Lyndsay Green sets out to demystify retirement for men and provides an engaging and uplifting portrait of the emotional landscape of men in their sixties and seventies. More descriptive than instructional, the book is based on interviews with over sixty people, from age 56 to 88, and includes 44 men and 17 of their partners living in cities, small towns and rural areas.In spite of the fact that many men have a deep-rooted fear about retirement, Lyndsay Green discovered that the story of men’s retirement is mostly one of adjustment, revitalization and reinvention.While most books on this subject focus on finances, Lyndsay Green writes more about the psychological implications of retirement. Retire to Retire? is an inspiring portrait of the emotional lives of men who have retired or are considering retirement.Author of the national bestseller You Could Live a Long Time: Are You Ready? Lyndsay Green is a sociologist now living in Victoria, BC.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
