Beschreibungen

<b>Silences the worry financially successful people have over retirement while offering them exciting new ways to think about and plan for a life after work</b> <p>Moving beyond the world of work can be an anxious, fearful time for accomplished professionals fraught with uncertainty and indecision. <i>Do I have enough money to live the life I want? Will I be healthy and able to manage any health problems that arise so that I can live the life I want? Will I be lonely? What kind of life do I want to live?</i> These are the pressing questions they ask themselves and seek answers for. Yet most books on retirement focus mainly on the financial aspects of life after work, offering little of value to those who are financially secure. <i>Beyond Work</i> was written for accomplished people who feel financially secure enough to retire, but who are at a loss when it comes to planning their futures. It gives them the tools to think about all the other important aspects of retirement, so they can make a successful transition to and find meaning and satisfaction in retirement.</p> <ul> <li>Explores the four challenges that must be met in order to have a fulfilling retirement: financial, physical, social, and personal</li> <li>Packed with inspiring and instructive real-life retirement stories and practical tools that assist readers in making the transition to life after work</li> </ul>

Like most career-focused people <b>Dr. Bill Roiter</b> had not really thought much about retirement until something happened: many of his clients began to ask him his ideas on the subject. Over the past 30 years Bill, a psychologist, has used his knowledge of human behavior to consult to organizations and to coach their executives. Many of the people Bill has known and worked with over the years are retiring or are contemplating it. Many have asked Bill what they should know and think about as they move beyond their work-focused lives.  Then four years ago Bill's wife retired from her corporate job and focused Bill's attention on the personal, as well as the professional, aspects of this dynamic part of life. This book is the result of Bill's work with these accomplished people.<br /> Bill maintains his own executive coaching practice in the Boston area. In 2004, he coauthored a book with Margaret Butteriss that identified and described <i>Corporate MVPs</i> (Wiley, 2004). He has also owned and sold two businesses, been a vice president for sales and marketing of a publicly traded company, and helped found a venture capital-backed electronic communications company. For the past 12 years Bill has focused his work on coaching executives as they transition to their next challenge.<br /> Bill's professional training includes a bachelor's, master's and doctoral degree from Boston University and post-doctoral training and teaching at Harvard University. Bill also teaches executive coaching to professionals looking to develop this expertise.
<b>How do I know if I am financially secure?</b> <p><b>What does it take to make friends outside of work?</b></p> <p><b>What is my role in taking care of my health?</b></p> <p><b>I am not really sure what I want as I move beyond work. How can I find out?</b></p> <p><b>Will I be lonely?</b></p> <p><b>Is this really the beginning of the end?</b></p> <p><b>Can I do this?</b></p> <p><b>Beyond Work</b></p> <p>Most baby boomers will do retirement well, but many may struggle. For some accomplished people, putting a successful career behind them to enter retirement can be a daunting prospect to face. Others worry, sometimes unnecessarily, about financial and health concerns. And for some, the huge blank canvas of a looming life of leisure is more anxiety-provoking than it is exciting. Whatever you think about retirement, it is not always easy and you are not foolish for worrying about it.</p> <p>In fact, retirement is a new phase of life—the new adulthood—with its own challenges and rewards. <i>Beyond Work</i> shows you how you can make the transition successfully, face this new challenge head-on, and thrive in retirement. <i>Beyond Work</i>:</p> <ul> <li>Goes beyond the financial dimension that tells you <i>if</i> you can retire to consider the three additional challenges that speak to <i>how</i> to retire.</li> <li>Explains the key to a successful retirement: the four domains that provide structure during your new adulthood—financial, physical, social, and personal.</li> <li>Features successful retirement stories from people who are thriving beyond work, as well as advice from experts and practical tools for making your own transition.</li> <li>Helps you to discover what it means to live life on your terms, and what those terms can be.</li> <li>Offers a framework for understanding the choices facing you in retirement, for actively making and renewing decisions about what’s best for you, and for making each decision a wise one.</li> <li>Shows you how to leave traditional work behind and find new meaning and success in the life you plan beyond it.</li> </ul> <p>Retirement is a big deal, but it is far from the withdrawal from the world that many of us dread. <i>Beyond Work</i> demystifies retirement and builds excitement for retiring while tranquilizing the worry about your new adult life.</p>
