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.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
