He's retiring. She's panicking. This is the book that saves the marriage.
Your partner is retiring. Congratulations — you're about to spend 24/7 with someone who has no hobbies, no plan, and a lot of opinions about how you load the dishwasher. This is the book for men approaching retirement with no plan — and the partners wondering how they'll survive it. Part wake-up call, part practical guide, part marriage-saver. Because retirement without purpose doesn't just bore you — it drives everyone around you up the wall. Packed with real talk, actionable strategies, and just enough humour to stop you throwing this book at your other half.

After 20+ years in events, marketing, and consulting across Australia and the Middle East, she's lived every pivot she writes about. Sydney-based, eternally optimistic, and supervised by two cats named Steve and Alan.
