A unique narrative on a unique time offering solace to people nearing retirement. Poised for Retirement is not your parents’ retirement guide, nor is it a financial planning guide; rather, it’s the relatable story of an ordinary working woman reflecting on her life and career.
Written with humor, compassion, and poignancy, Nayer’s poetic prose is also inspirational. Easy to implement visualizations and breathing and sleep techniques are offered at the end of each chapter. Readers will gain insight and wisdom as the author learns to create a new and healthier life during this important transition.
Louise Nayer, is a writer and educator. She was a professor of English and creative writing for over twenty-seven years at City College of San Francisco.

“Few decisions are as momentous as when―and how―we retire. Louise Nayer gives us a compassionate and detailed account of her own journey, while including insights from ordinary retirees and experts. A must read for anyone considering this step.”--Eleanor Vincent, Author of Swimming with Maya: A Mother’s Story
“Louise Nayer’s Poised for Retirement reinforces the fact that everyone needs to think about when and whether they are going to retire. My research for The Bitch in Your Head: How to Finally Squash Your Inner Critic confirmed how vital it is to have a post-retirement plan so ‘the Bitch’ doesn’t make you feel depressed because you are ‘old and over the hill.’” --Jacqueline Hornor Plumez, PhD, Author of The Bitch in Your Head: How to Finally Squash Your Inner Critic
