Sure sign of a book I got something out of is the number of places I highlighted in it. And I highlighted a lot in this. Will need to come back someday and review the highlights. The parts on generativity and creativity were good. ( ) Creative Aging approaches pre-retirement and retirement as spiritual opportunities to evolve into one’s fullness for sharing gifts with others and creating a rewarding life. Examples are Christian-based, but the author Margery Zoet Bankson does not proselytize and is spiritual, rather than religiously dogmatic, making this work accessible for people with varying beliefs. Bankson elaborates on four pre-retirement steps that inform moving into the next phase of life with grace, self-confidence and authenticity: release (letting go of one’s former vocational image), resistance (feeling stuck and lost), reclaiming (remembering previous and buried skills, talents and gifts), and revelation (creating a vision for the future). This critical internal work validates the retiree as valuable and viable to reach the “crossing point” that leads into generativity, defined as “…recognizing our connection with the wider world and living into that knowing” (p.11). Generativity facilitates taking risk (with hope) and relating (joining or developing new structures for meaningful work), for being a spiritual being in one’s community. This is an essential read for the retiree, or soon to be, who yearns for transformation and connection to others. A short, quality bibliography suggests further reading. I read this library book, and will buy my own to join my small group of rereads. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Discover Your Unique Gift "Creative aging is a choice.... If we remember that transition always begins with endings, moves on to a wilderness period of testing and trying, and only then do we reach the beginning of something new, then we can embrace this encore period of life with hope and curiosity, remembering always that it is our true nature to be creative, to be always birthing new ways of sharing our planet together." --from the Epilogue In a practical and useful way, Marjory Zoet Bankson explores the spiritual dimensions of retirement and aging. She offers creative ways for you to share your gifts and experience, particularly when retirement leaves you questioning who you are when you are no longer defined by your career. Drawing on stories of people who have reinvented their lives in their older years, Bankson explores the issues you need to address as you move into this generative period of life: Release: Letting go of the vocational identity associated with your career or primary work Resistance: Feeling stuck, stagnant, resisting change Reclaiming: Drawing energy from the past, discovering unused gifts Revelation: Forming a new vision of the future Crossing Point: Moving from stagnation to generativity Risk: Stepping out into the world with new hope Relating: Finding or creating new structures for a new kind of work Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
