| Summary: |
Covering the stages of transition, this book is written for people who lose not only their occupation at retirement, but they also often lose their friends, culture, identity, self-esteem and even their future hope of ministry. It is best to read this in years immediately before retirement. |
| Gems: |
Disengagement theory ignores a central retirement truth: You, the prospective retiree can substantially alter the effects of age through lifestyle choices that increase your satisfaction with life and offer you greater meaning in ministry. There is little reason for you to focus on "letting go" during retirement except to let go of the middle-age behaviors that hinder you from thriving..Retirement usually dramatically changes a missionary's or military chaplain's social and support networks. However in retirement transition you have the opportunity intentionally to identify and pursue entirely new patterns of social support-this is a lifestyle choice. |
