Opis

In Changing Lanes: Couples Redefining Retirement, psychologist and social scientist Beverly A. Battaglia gives us a compelling and highly useful map that guides couples who are contemplating, actively pursuing, or living in retirement. Drawing from interviews with one hundred seniors of all ages, Dr. Battaglia explores with frankness and sensitivity the issues facing Boomers and the elderly. Using a creative construct of Benefits-Drawbacks-Compromises for a variety of retirement concerns, the reader is given the opportunity to weigh choices and make decisions based on logic, solid reasoning, and emotional need. From making stronger marital and familial relationships to facing health issues, from creating a supportive community to being knowledgeable about care giving, financial, and end-of-life issues, this book is an essential guide for anyone negotiating the unknown and often frightening road to retirement.
