<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Retirement is one of the biggest life changes we face. And it's been transformed since our parents retired into a period of exciting opportunities for personal growth and development. It's no longer seen as a decline into old age, but a vibrant new stage of life with infinite possibilities for personal fulfilment and renewed energy. This generation wants to seize the hour, but are keen for guidance on making the most of retirement. But too many people struggle with the adjustment, and it can have a negative impact on their physical and mental health. Research by the Institute of Economic Affairs found that retired people are 40% more likely to suffer from depression and 60% more likely to have a diagnosed physical condition. The latest research shows that successful retirement is all about attitude. This book will inspire readers to nurture a positive attitude to life beyond work and take control of their future. In it men and women share their very different experiences, from unexpected pleasures to disastrous mistakes, successes, failures and how they might do things differently. They speak from the heart about the issues that will face us all: how they've dealt with loss of status and routine, found new meaning, reinvented their relationships.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Retirement is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be yourself and do what you want to do. It offers new possibilities for personal growth through learning, retraining, travelling and friendship. But it is also one of the biggest transitions we face, and brings huge psychological and emotional challenges. It's not surprising that many people struggle with the adjustment to a different pace of life. </p><p><i>Not Fade Away</i> guides the reader through these challenges: dealing with the loss of status and routine, reinventing relationships, managing money, and above all, finding new meaning and purpose. It brings together expert advice and insights from people retiring now, who speak from the heart about the lessons they've learned and the new sources of fulfilment they've discovered. By cutting a clear path through the maze of choices on offer for people retiring today - which may or may not involve giving up work completely - <i>Not Fade Away </i>inspires you to make up your own mind and take control of your future. And that, experts agree, is the key to a good retirement.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"As a child of the 60's, ambitious and career driven, I needed to read this book.
