I’ve been getting good feedback on DONE WORKING: Finding Contentment in Retirement, ranging from retirees who’ve found it validates what they’re already doing to prospective retirees looking for tips on how best to prepare for the transition, apart from finances.

In DONE WORKING, advice to prospective retirees from the 101 retirees (‘The Weavers’) surveyed for the book includes: * ‘View retirement as an opportunity rather than a loss.’ * If you’re happy in your employment, consider all options, including reduced hours, before making a final decision.’ * ‘It helps to set yourself up in a couple of groups before retirement so they’re already part of your routine.’ * ‘Take on a project or new hobby when you retire. It’s important to be involved in something and helpful if it stretches you or is bigger than you.’

Those are just a few of the many pieces of down-to-earth advice in DONE WORKING from retirees who’ve ‘been there, done that’ which, along with the findings from global research into ageing and wellbeing, can help us achieve a Goldilocks ‘just right’ life balance in retirement between ‘too hot’ and ‘too cold’.

Until Next Time
