Prescription for a Happy Retirement: How to Flourish, Not Flounder

Has retirement failed to bring the joy you expected? If so, you’re not alone. Approximately 10,000 baby boomers retire daily, and most have trouble adjusting to retirement because they were unprepared for the loss of identity and purpose their job offered. Once retired, they may feel unfulfilled and suffer from PMS (Post-Work Melancholy Syndrome). Dr. James Bash understands this situation. After retiring, he felt disappointed and drained. He scoured the current literature for a cure, but found nothing that would fully revitalize him. He decided to write his own book and began exploring what makes retirement satisfying—why for some these are the fabled golden years. Now he shares what he learned through his research, personal experience, and the advice of his many retired patients. In Prescription for a Happy Retirement, Dr. Bash teaches readers how to: • Analyze the causes of their Post-Work Melancholy Syndrome • Plan for retirement if they’re still working • Understand the difference between what they want and what they need in retirement • Increase their self-esteem by building an identity independent of their work persona • Create a new social life, routines, and sense of meaning for their days • Engage in lifelong activities and learning • Care for themselves physically so retirement is long-lasting and enjoyable When you retire, it can feel like your spark has been extinguished, which can lead to sadness. With Dr. Bash’s prescription, you’ll reignite your spark and help light up the world.
