Facing Retirement

A Guide for the Middle Aged and Elderly

About this book

Originally published in 1960 and revised in 1964 the blurb for Facing Retirement read:

"Mature men and women are not afraid of advancing years. More and more seek to prepare themselves for retirement so that they may then find all the happiness they can.

This phase of life is interesting to a widening circle, and in writing this book it was the author's aim to discuss readably, simply, and from his experience with his patients, most relevant aspects of these later years. It was a pioneer in its approach: any similar books which may follow, if they help to lessen the burden of the elderly and aged which has to be sustained by the younger generations, must be of the highest importance not only to individuals but to the nation.

For nearly thirty years the author of this book has had the medical care of over 2,000 people of all ages in a cluster of villages and hamlets at the foot of the Cotswold Hills. He has been chairman or president of the County Association for the Care of old People since its inception in 1952."

Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.
