Overview

After many successful (or maybe just stressful) years in your career, you finally have the chance to say goodbye to the demands of work and retire. But, like it or not, work is often a central part of our adult lives and even identities. Rather than enjoying your hard-earned rest, you might find yourself asking . . . now what? Retirement doesn't have to be intimidating, and planning for it doesn't just need to involve your finances or picking up hobbies just so you can stay busy. It can also be an exciting opportunity for growth, self-discovery, intention, and self-care-an opportunity to embrace joy. That's what Flourishing in Retirement: A Five-step Guide to Joy for the Post-career Woman is all about. Backed up by research and author Shelly Dale's own experiences as a post-career woman, this book will help women (and any other retiree who needs it) build a retired life in which they feel empowered each day and unconditionally love themselves. It includes helpful activities such as meditations and mind-maps and thorough guides to coping behaviours, mindset shifts, and other healing techniques. It's time to bust common myths about retirement, break out of stinking thinking, and take this chance to rediscover yourself, your priorities, and those daily glimmers that enrich our lives. You deserve a joyous life and retirement, and the five steps in this book will help you make joyous living a constant practice.
