The PHASE Into Retirement(TM) Field Guide Your 5-Step Roadmap to Purpose, Health, Activities, Social Connection & Everyday Joy in Retirement
Most people spend decades planning the financial side of retirement - and almost no time planning the life side. This Field Guide changes that.
The PHASE Into Retirement(TM) Field Guide is a practical, research-informed workbook built around five dimensions that predict whether retirement becomes a season of flourishing - or simply fading: Purpose, Health, Activities, Social Life, and Everyday Life. The PHASE(TM) framework is grounded in decades of gerontology, psychology, behavioral science, and longitudinal aging studies.
This is not a motivational book. It is a planning tool - one that takes the life side of retirement as seriously as most people take the financial side.
Each chapter walks you through the research behind one PHASE(TM) dimension, then guides you into honest reflection exercises that reveal where you are strong, where gaps exist, and what your next steps should be. Write-in spaces throughout make this a working document you return to and build from over time.
- Purpose - Who are you becoming when the career chapter ends? How do you build identity and meaning beyond a job title?
- Health - What habits will give you the energy and clarity to fully live the retirement you're designing?
- Activities - How will you fill your days with intention - with pursuits that engage curiosity and give structure to unstructured time?
- Social Life - Which relationships will sustain you when work's built-in social world disappears?
- Everyday Life - What routines will replace the structure that work once provided?
You cannot accidentally create the retirement you want. But you can intentionally design it - and this Field Guide is where that work begins.
These five pillars form a living ecosystem. Strengthen one, and the others rise with it. The PHASE(TM) framework helps you see those connections - and act on them.
This Field Guide delivers its full power when paired with your personal PHASE Into Retirement(TM) assessment results. Complete your assessment at PHASEIntoRetirement.com - it takes less than fifteen minutes and makes everything that follows directly personal.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
