Why People Resist Retirement

Research suggests making the decision to retire means grappling with
three psychological issues. First, identity issues can loom large for
any deeply engaged professional. Even a small step away from a career
can make a person wonder who they are without it. Second, many older
professionals resist leaving meaningful work. And third is the dread
of losing the strong relationships that accumulate over the course of
a long, successful career. New research suggests that leaders who
develop an accurate awareness of who they really are and what their
job really demands of them are much better equipped to overcome the
psychological barriers to retirement.

are getting tougher to come by.

Opinion | Conservatives Are Fighting Over Ronald Reagan's Legacy. They

The result is a veritable schism on the right over Mr. Reagan’s
legacy, and more broadly, over whether the conservative past should
shape its future. What’s perhaps most telling about this internal
battle, however, is that the various factions — those who reject
Reaganism, those who defend it and those who stress the commonalities
between Reaganism and Trumpism — all tend to paint portraits of Mr.
Reagan that omit the very attributes that made him such a broadly
popular political figure: his pragmatism and nose for compromise.
