UNRETIREMENT Don't believe the "retirement crisis" hype. Older workers are transforming the US economy. Will retiring baby boomers bankrupt Social Security and Medicare? Are millions headed for a disastrous retirement with inadequate savings? Economics writer Chris Farrell thinks not. In this engaging, optimistic report, he shows that US workers are staying on the job longer – which fuels growth and infuses the economy with "entrepreneurial energy." With powerful stories of people who reinvented their careers in their 60s and 70s, Farrell shows how older workers are transforming their lives and the workplace. He deals briefly with the plight of low-wage workers and argues for policies to strengthen their safety net. Farrell's insights about "unretirement" are a refreshing change from the usual predictions of a Social Security meltdown and a "retirement crisis." getAbstract recommends his reportage and suggestions to policymakers, human resources directors and those on the cusp of what perhaps should no longer be called the "retirement years."

Here's how you can proceed gracefully and effectively. Behavioral scientist Darren Hill and psychologists Alison Hill and Sean Richardson explain that behaviors are difficult, but people aren't, at least, not most people. To show leaders how to handle difficult workplace conversations, the authors discuss verbal and nonverbal communication, restructuring, termination, crisis management, and more. Their advice is succinct and to the point. They give managers the nitty-gritty on handling difficult behaviors without pop psychology fluff. Their practical suggestions include using three-point communication to defuse tense situations and cultivating a growth mind-set for handling crises. The authors lighten the mood with clever, alliterative chapter titles, while delivering tough, workable advice. You'll appreciate the layout, charts, diagrams, brief examples and useful lists – all good stuff, and not just tough stuff. getAbstract recommends this perceptive book to managers, teachers, parents and other leaders.
