This book will help you consider your opportunities and formulate plans for your active years ahead. We present eight persistent myths about aging, work, and retirement and their implications for you as a boomer. We encourage you to challenge outmoded notions of aging and retirement and determine your own vision and plan for your future. New realities, such as changing attitudes toward aging and retirement and emerging talent shortages, are opening up new opportunities for work and for transforming retirement into a blend of work and other meaningful activities. Our discussion will help you explore and reflect on the choices available to you and to think creatively about your future.
There is a large and growing body of research and data on aging and adult development, workforce issues, age bias, work, and careers that is not discussed in most retirement and life-planning books. This book is fact-based, drawing on this body of research. Further, we provide references to the information upon which we have relied to enable you to consider the facts and to draw your own conclusions. You can draw upon research studies, others’ experiences, interpretations of boomers’ unique characteristics, and emerging practices and trends reported in news, business, and social science publications to inform your decision-making.
