Retirement is a comma in our lives, not a full stop. Life After Work looks at the psychological, emotional and wellbeing issues that surround this complex and important transition in life. This book suggests that retirement is a life stage over which we may have greater control than previously thought; it no longer has to be the case that retirement is a terminal point, a time where you became sedentary and inactive. Retirement is on one level a private, individual matter that affects one’s sense of self and purpose, physical and mental processes, as well as financial security or provision. On another level, retirement has an impact on relationships with loved ones, family and friends, as well as colleagues. It can strengthen or disrupt bonds, leading to new bonds being formed or to withdrawal. This book is written by successful authors and psychologists Robert Bor, Carina Eriksen and Lizzie Quarterman, each with many years’ experience of helping people cope with life stage changes and prepare for retirement. It contains illustrative case studies throughout, from which valuable lessons can be learned, and draws on the very latest psychological research and techniques to provide a blueprint for planning and living a wonderful retirement or life post-work. Planning for your future is crucial in enabling you to maximise the opportunities available. Following the book’s blueprint will help you prepare for this phase in your life, and the sooner you start the better. Life After Work will be of great interest to readers of all ages seeking guidance on retirement and will also appeal to psychologists of life stage changes.
This workshop overview, and the Literature Review that sits alongside it, provide a conceptual and practical foundation for the potential development of 'diversity' policy at Auckland Council. The literature review focuses on four main areas: the social impact of ethnic diversity; city level initiatives that focus on diversity and inclusion; ethnic diversity and the development of infrastructure at the city level; and the intersection between indigeneity and immigration. The relationship between migration, ethnicity and inequalities is a cross-cutting theme and is woven through these four sections. The workshops, with their focus on the perceptions and experiences of participants, provide a counterpoint to the findings of the literature review. What we mean by this is that the workshops privilege the voices of Auckland Council staff and local academics in ways that balance the focus of the literature review on published sources from around the world. The Auckland Plan's vision of Auckland as 'the world's most liveable city' includes creating a strong, inclusive and equitable society that ensures opportunity for all Aucklanders. Although the term 'diversity' as it is used in The Auckland Plan is wide ranging, this workshop overview and the literature review focus on one aspect of diversity: ethnic diversity."--Introduction.
