Professor Nathalie Martin has released a new book, "The Inspired Retirement," through Beaver’s Pond Press. The book delves into the emotional and psychological aspects of retirement, especially for those who have spent years in demanding careers.
Martin, drawing from her background as a legal scholar and certified yoga and meditation teacher, addresses how some individuals fear retirement due to concerns about physical, emotional, and spiritual decline. Others may be excited by new opportunities but unsure of their next steps. Her book encourages embracing retirement with curiosity and courage.
The inspiration for the book came after Martin read about a travel writer who remained in one career for 66 years. This led her to explore retirement and aging further. She conducted interviews nationwide with various professionals, including police officers and university presidents, to gather diverse insights. Scientific studies are also referenced to aid readers in navigating post-career life.
"The Inspired Retirement" provides guidance on creating a fulfilling retirement based on personal values and passions. It includes advice on financial planning and using resources to benefit others.
Endorsed by two #1 New York Times Bestselling authors, including Harvard Professor Arthur Brooks, the book has received positive reviews and was a bestseller in adulthood and aging. It is available for purchase online.
