The presentation will go beyond the conventional financial and health-related advice, focusing on the psychological, social, and life-restructuring challenges of retiring. Through compelling stories and extensive research, Teresa Amabile will offer insights into navigating the identity shifts, relationship dynamics, and life structure changes that accompany retirement.

She will be joined by co-author Lotte Bailyn of the MIT Sloan School for a discussion of their research findings and implications for having a satisfying life in retirement.
