    About this ebook

    Although we all dream about retirement at some point in our careers, the act of leaving the world of work often feels like being put out to pasture. How should I structure my day? How will I stay productive? What will happen to valued friendships and personal relationships? Will everyone forget about me?

    Getting ready for retirement is not unlike preparing for a career. It requires assessing strengths, interests and values, researching appropriate options and creating an action plan. This book will provide exercises that are introspective and strategic. It offers concrete planning tools and resources to assist older workers in preparing for emotional fulfillment during one of the most exciting and rewarding times of their lives.

      —Carl Jung

      The average American spends 90,000 hours working toward retirement and less than ten hours planning for it. And most of that planning is financial.
