Synopsis

80% plan to work after retirement ... here's the guide you need.

A recent AARP survey found that 80% of baby boomers plan to continue working in some form past the age of 65—either for the money or for the fun of it. Today's retirees are looking for work situations that are mentally and emotionally rewarding. The problem is that many are not sure how to find them. This new edition helps you define what kind of work is best suited for your passions and interests, and guides them through the process of obtaining such work—whether it's a part-time job, volunteer work, or a second career.
—Combines practical advice with stories and lessons of real-life retirees
—Covers hot-button topics that have become closely intertwined with the idea of rewiring—non- work activities, financial planning, workplace flexibility, work and family balance, and the nurturing of professional and personal relationships.
