Done with Work:
A Dozen Perspectives on The Decision to Retire
About Dr. Gard
I'm a psychologist (retired from practice) in Chicago. My doctoral training at Northwestern University Medical School focused on the second half of life. I help clients sort through the head & heart issues related to retirement and/or the sale of a business, while overcoming barriers that prevent planning for the future. My goal is to help people craft a compelling next chapter and leave work on a high note.
Done With Work - the book
is about people who chose to retire from their long-term occupation. It is based on semi-structured interviews with individuals who were gracious enough to share their decision-making process. Their stories are presented with the intention to help others who are grappling with the question of when to retire. To quote one interviewee, “it’s not easy to decide when to be done.”
