About
DONE WORKING is not 'just another retirement book'-its message is that retirement is not a 'harmless marker' in our lives, but a time for finding new meaning and purpose that will sustain us through our later years, whatever our circumstances.
Based on real-life advice from 101 retires and world-wide research, DONE WORKING lifts the lid on seven key areas in our lives where we can make a difference to our contentment in retirement.
It's a period of transition and transformation we need to treat with thought and care if we are to find contentment past our working life.
Contented retirement goes beyond financial security or finding aged care. It's not a formula, not a checklist.
It's a thoughtful and ongoing process of finding our way through each of those seven areas to achieve a Goldilocks 'just right' balance between 'too hot' and too cold' to create the quality of life we aspire to in later life.
'Contentment is the state of being happy and satisfied. Contentment isn't an excited kind of happy. It's more like a peaceful ease of mind. It's being satisfied with what you have, whatever that is.'
• How do we achieve that peaceful ease of mind, especially as we head towards and into retirement?
• Is that contentment real and worth aiming for?
• Apart from our finances, what can we do to prepare for retirement and how do we manage it when we get there?
Those are the questions DONE WORKING sets out to answer, using a distinctive Q&A approach and lots of personal, relatable stories.
Clinical Psychologist and Wellbeing Specialist Dr John Barletta said: 'Dymock speaks a language we can all understand. This book puts you in the driver's seat to develop a good life, simple as that.'
Bookseller Fiona Stager said: 'A really useful book for those about to retire or for retirees struggling with lack of contentment. A great gift book for a special occasion.'
DONE WORKING sends a strong positive message that should leave you feeling hopeful, encouraged and empowered.
