Routledge - Life After Work: A Psychological Guide to Retirement

Retirement is a comma in your life story, not a full stop. Life After Work by Routledge explores the psychological, emotional, and wellbeing aspects of this major life transition. Instead of viewing retirement as a terminal point or a time of inactivity, this book presents it as a life stage where you can maintain control over your future. This guide examines how retirement acts as a private, individual experience that shapes your sense of self and purpose. It looks at the impact of this transition on your physical and mental processes, as well as your financial security. By understanding the complexities of moving from full-time work to a new way of living, you can better navigate the emotional shifts that come with leaving the workforce. Whether you are planning for the future or currently adjusting to a new lifestyle, this book offers a deep look into the mental and emotional changes that define the retirement years.
