For Better or for Worse..but Not for Lunch
by Sara Yogev
The only guide to overcoming the psychological stresses that can ruin a marriage after retirement People are retiring earlier and wealthier than ever before. Why, then, are so many retired couples, instead of having the times of their lives together, becoming so angry, alienated, and estranged? Written by a psychologist specializing in work-family issues, For Better or for Worse...But Not for Lunch explores this troubling trend and provides readers with the information and tools they need to make their relationships thrive in retirement. This is the first book devoted entirely to planning for the psychological aspects of retirement and its impact on marriage. With the help of vivid case studies from her files, Dr. Yogev illustrates common psychological and emotional problems--such as loss of a sense of purpose, too much togetherness, fights over friends and grandchildren, and tension over money--that can put undue stress on a marriage after retirement and describes her proven conflict-resolving, relationship-building techniques.

Crossing the Unknown Sea Work as a Pilgrimage of Identity
Whyte, David
Riverhead Books. New; May have light shelf wear and ink mark (remainder mark) on outer edge. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED! 2001. Hardcover. 1 x 8.5 x 5.9 Inches; 256 pages; This bestselling author of <i>The Heart Aroused</i> and internationally renowned Fortune 500 consultant explores work as an opportunity for discovering, shaping, and nurturing our deepest selves.<br><br>When our work is right for us and it gives back to the world, when we develop, as the poet William Blake said, "a firm persuasion," we feel we can move mountains. Maybe we've felt this way only for a moment, maybe some feel this way all the time, or maybe some have never felt this way. But a sense of fulfillment is possible for all of us, and David Whyte can show us how to restore it to our lives. Whyte applies the stages of a holy pilgrimage to the process of seeking identity through the unknown sea of work. These are:<br><br> • Longing for refuge<br> • Finding the strength to begin the journey<br> • Desiring growth<br> • Overcoming obstacles<br> • Avoiding distractions<br> • Connecting-meeting and traveling with others with a common purpose<br> • Helping others-a desire to bring hope and help to those left behind<br><br>We may think of family, relationships, friends, religion, or spiritual practice as the domains in which the soul is refined, in which our identities are nurtured and shaped. But we overlook the area in which we spend the majority of our time: work. As Whyte indicates, what holds us back at work is what will hold us back the longest in our life's development. <i>Crossing the Unknown Sea</i> illustrates how to embrace the opportunity that work provides for us to begin to inhabit fully our individuality and maximize our creativity. .
