Many of us get so caught up in the pursuit of "succes" that we don't realize that we are losing ourselves in the process. It happens very gradually and before we know it we are overly identified and dependent upon our work. Ms. Edmondson has done an excellent job of illustrating how it is we lose track of ourselves and what can happen to us if we have not planned properly for when we are no longer working. She offers insightful thoughts on assessing our current situation and explains the steps which need to be taken in order to make disconnecting from the workplace a smooth and rewarding life transition. Expertly reminding us of what is truly important, Ms. Edmondson provides a set of useful tools to help us rebalance our lives and live intentionally, and well. I recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about retirement, but also, anyone who is experiencing burnout or just generally unsatisfied in their professional life.
