This edition is for you as a long working life moves towards retirement, whether that day is still some way off or has just arrived. Navigate Retirement Transition treats retirement as far more than leaving work: it is a new chapter of identity, purpose and daily rhythm.
It helps you shape that chapter with intention. The wisdom is organised around research on life transitions, which looks at your situation, yourself, your support and your strategies, so you can attend to each in turn and give the new season a vibrant shape of its own.
Inside is a personalised card deck and an ebook, both carrying your own name on every page. The sections follow the seasons of the transition: Planning for Retirement, The First Year, Finding Purpose, Health & Wellness, Relationship Changes, Financial Concerns and Staying Engaged. Each card shows a theme, an image and a short description on the front, and on the back a curated set of quotes from six wisdom traditions with room for your own handwritten notes. The ebook holds the same wisdom as a flowing book you can read on a tablet or phone, or print and bind.
On WorkSmart4Life you find it on the library shelf under "Life Wisdom: the moments of a working life". It is part of the moment pack Retirement, which an employer gives to everyone on a list. If retirement is still ahead, begin with Planning for Retirement, which is written for the years before the last working day; if it has arrived, begin with The First Year. On each card, read the quotes and choose one that speaks to you today.
