Bill Roiter 
Beyond Work 
How Accomplished People Retire Successfully

Silences the worry financially successful people have over
retirement while offering them exciting new ways to think about and
plan for a life after work

Moving beyond the world of work can be an anxious, fearful time
for accomplished professionals fraught with uncertainty and
indecision. Do I have enough money to live the life I want? Will
I be healthy and able to manage any health problems that arise so
that I can live the life I want? Will I be lonely? What kind of
life do I want to live? These are the pressing questions they
ask themselves and seek answers for. Yet most books on retirement
focus mainly on the financial aspects of life after work, offering
little of value to those who are financially secure. Beyond
Work was written for accomplished people who feel financially
secure enough to retire, but who are at a loss when it comes to
planning their futures. It gives them the tools to think about all
the other important aspects of retirement, so they can make a
successful transition to and find meaning and satisfaction in
retirement.

* Explores the four challenges that must be met in order to have
a fulfilling retirement: financial, physical, social, and
personal

* Packed with inspiring and instructive real-life retirement
stories and practical tools that assist readers in making the
transition to life after work

About the Author.

Über den Autor

Like most career-focused people Dr. Bill Roiter had not
really thought much about retirement until something happened: many
of his clients began to ask him his ideas on the subject. Over the
past 30 years Bill, a psychologist, has used his knowledge of human
behavior to consult to organizations and to coach their executives.
Many of the people Bill has known and worked with over the years
are retiring or are contemplating it. Many have asked Bill what
they should know and think about as they move beyond their
work-focused lives. Then four years ago Bill’s wife retired
from her corporate job and focused Bill’s attention on the
personal, as well as the professional, aspects of this dynamic part
of life. This book is the result of Bill’s work with these
accomplished people.

Bill maintains his own executive coaching practice in the Boston
area. In 2004, he coauthored a book with Margaret Butteriss that
identified and described Corporate MVPs (Wiley, 2004). He
has also owned and sold two businesses, been a vice president for
sales and marketing of a publicly traded company, and helped found
a venture capital-backed electronic communications company. For the
past 12 years Bill has focused his work on coaching executives as
they transition to their next challenge.

Bill’s professional training includes a bachelor’s, master’s and
doctoral degree from Boston University and post-doctoral training
and teaching at Harvard University. Bill also teaches executive
coaching to professionals looking to develop this expertise.
