Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
The Retirement Maze
Rob Pascale, Louis H. Primavera & Rip Roach · 2012
75/100
👍 Worth It
Backed by an actual 1,500-person survey and a psychologist's clinical eye, this digs into the identity loss and marital strain that hit people after they clock out for good — a side of retirement most books skip entirely. The 'maze' framing is honest rather than cheery, but that honesty is the point.
