Whitfield M: The Retirement Guardrail

The Retirement Guardrail

Most organisations producing psychological harm at work are not doing so out of indifference. They are doing so because the frameworks their leaders inherited do not match what the law now demands, what the science now establishes, and what the consequences of failure now entail.Work Without Harm closes that gap. Drawing on four decades of research and the regulatory frameworks now operating across Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, the European Union, and beyond, the book sets out what the duty to provide psychologically safe work actually requires of officers, executives, boards, and the people who manage work day-to-day.The book moves past wellbeing programmes, employee assistance schemes, and resilience training-the interventions evidence shows to be the least effective response to psychosocial risk-and into the territory the law is actually targeting: how work is designed, how managers behave, how organisations decide what conditions to permit, and how boards govern what they cannot themselves observe.Five case studies, constructed as composites from documented enforcement outcomes, published inquiry findings, and patterns encountered repeatedly in practice, demonstrate what failure looks like in professional services, mining, healthcare, the public sector, and remote work, and what the analytical frameworks would have surfaced earlier.Written for executives, officers, directors, safety and HR leaders, regulators, and policy makers, Work Without Harm is neither a compliance manual nor a wellbeing book. It is a treatment of psychosocial risk as the safety, governance, and personal liability issue the legal frameworks have already concluded it is, and a practical guide to discharging the duty that follows.

Psychosocial Risk and Leadership Accountability

Work Without Harm

What happens when work stops defining you?

You've spent decades building a career, a business or a family. But as the next big chapter of your life approaches, does the conventional image of retirement - sitting on a bench overlooking a beach - fill you with a sense of dread rather than excitement? The financial decisions are complex enough - pensions, assets, business sales, inheritance - but it's the deeper questions of identity and purpose that tend to stop people in their tracks. Chris Daems, Chartered Financial Planner with twenty years of experience, has written the guide he wishes his clients had read before they got there.

What Happens Next is a radical new roadmap for life after work. It is a framework for anyone approaching retirement planning, a career crossroads, or the question of what a fulfilling second act might actually look like - not a pensions manual, and not a bucket-list manifesto.

Drawing on philosophy, psychology, and the real experiences of clients and expert contributors, Daems argues that the biggest mistake people make is treating this transition as a single decision rather than a design process. Your next chapter hasn't been written yet. The book's approach is simple: don't redesign your life in one go. Run small experiments. Learn what matters. Build from there.

The book moves through six dimensions of wellbeing - purpose and identity, financial wellbeing, physical health, social connection, intellectual and occupational fulfilment, and community - showing how each interacts with the others, and how financial independence alone is never enough. Life after work is richer when it is planned across all of these dimensions, not just the financial ones.

Each chapter combines evidence and wisdom - from the Harvard Study of Adult Development to the Stoics, from behavioural finance to the Kübler-Ross change curve - with practical tools and prompts the reader can apply immediately. Real client stories bring the theory to life, including the stories of people who got it right, and those who had to find their way back from getting it wrong.

For anyone over fifty navigating a major life transition - whether leaving a career, selling a business, or simply asking what comes next - this book provides the clarity and courage to move forward.

Contributors and voices include founders, executive coaches, financial wellbeing specialists, and experts on purpose in later life and wellbeing over sixty. Chris Daems is a Chartered Financial Planner and Chair of the CISI Financial Planning Forum. What Happens Next is also a podcast and a growing community of people redesigning life on their own terms.

The practical guide to retirement that goes far beyond the money.

What Happens Next

Dein größter Gegner an der Börse? Sitzt oft im eigenen Kopf. Zu viel Selbstvertrauen, die Jagd nach dem nächsten großen Gewinn oder die Angst, einen Trend zu verpassen: Beim Investieren lassen wir uns leichter täuschen, als wir glauben. Und zahlen dafür im schlimmsten Fall mit unserem Geld. Mit Die 7 Todsünden des Investierens entlarven Endrit Çela und Saša Perovic die häufigsten Denk- und Verhaltensfehler von Anleger:innen: • Hochmut: Warum wir unsere Fähigkeiten überschätzen • Habgier: Weshalb schnelle Gewinne so verführerisch sind • Neid: Wie der Blick auf andere die eigene Strategie gefährdet • Zorn: Warum Panik und Frust zu teuren Kurzschlüssen führen • Völlerei: Weshalb mehr Informationen nicht automatisch bessere Entscheidungen bedeuten • Faulheit: Wie Aufschieben und Planlosigkeit Vermögen kosten • Lust: Warum uns heiße Trends und starke Storys den Kopf verdrehen Anschauliche Beispiele, überraschende Erkenntnisse aus Behavioral Finance und Psychologie sowie praktische Checklisten zeigen, wie sich diese Fallen vermeiden lassen. So lernen Anleger:innen, ihre Emotionen besser zu kontrollieren, kluge Regeln für ihr Depot aufzustellen und auch dann gelassen zu bleiben, wenn es an den Märkten turbulent wird. Für alle, die nicht länger gegen das eigene Gehirn verlieren, sondern ihr Geld mit mehr Klarheit, Strategie und Erfolg anlegen wollen.

Typische Fallen vermeiden und Geld klüger anlegen

Die 7 Todsünden des Investierens

How most investing decisions differ from what the data say works—and how replacing myth with measurement can improve outcomes. The Accidental Venture Capitalist examines how early-stage investment decisions are actually made—and why so many of them diverge from what the evidence says should work. Written by an academic-turned-venture capitalist Scott Shane, the book sits at the intersection of rigorous research and lived investing experience. Its central premise is simple but uncomfortable: in venture capital, folklore and intuition dominate practice, even though decades of empirical research offer more reliable guidance on selection, pricing, portfolio construction, and incentives. The book follows the full arc of the venture process, from fund design and deal sourcing to valuation, syndication, follow-on investing, governance, and exits. Each chapter takes a familiar maxim—“bet on the jockey,” “do more diligence,” “double down on winners”—and tests it against large-sample academic evidence and real investment outcomes. Shane’s analysis is grounded in power-law economics, behavioral decision-making, and incentive alignment. And he is transparent about mistakes as well as successes, treating his own funds as a living laboratory rather than a victory lap. The book also offers practical tools—checklists, heuristics, simple models—that translate evidence into decisions investors can actually implement.

Why Evidence Beats Instinct in Early-Stage Investing

The Accidental Venture Capitalist

Confused about when to file for Social Security? You're not alone - and one wrong move can lock in a smaller check for the rest of your life.

Somewhere between your mid-fifties and late sixties, the question starts nagging at you: claim now, or wait? Take the guaranteed check today, or hold out for a bigger one later? For married couples, the decision gets even more tangled - spousal benefits, survivor benefits, and two claiming ages to coordinate instead of one.

Your Social Security Roadmap cuts through the noise with a clear, step-by-step framework for understanding how the system actually works - so you can make a confident, informed decision instead of guessing.

Rather than printing dollar figures that go stale the moment tax tables update, this book teaches you the stable mechanics behind every claiming decision: how your benefit is calculated, how early claiming permanently reduces it, how delayed retirement credits permanently increase it, and how spousal, divorced-spouse, and survivor benefits fit together. You'll finish with a framework you can apply to your own numbers, pulled straight from your free my Social Security account.

What's inside:

- How Social Security really works, from your earnings record to your Primary Insurance Amount
- The mechanics behind claiming early, at full retirement age, or all the way to 70
- Spousal, divorced-spouse, and survivor benefit rules married couples often overlook
- How working while collecting benefits affects your check (and when it doesn't)
- How Social Security benefits are taxed, and how to plan around it
- A clear overview of how Medicare enrollment lines up with your Social Security timeline
- The most common, costly claiming mistakes - and how to avoid them
- Illustrative scenarios showing how these strategies apply in practice
- A complete checklist, action plan, and twenty questions worth asking an advisor

Perfect for:

Americans in their 50s and 60s planning their retirement timeline, spouses trying to coordinate two claiming decisions instead of one, and anyone who's opened a Social Security statement and felt more confused than informed.

This book focuses on the durable rules behind Social Security, not year-specific dollar amounts that change annually - so it stays useful no matter when you read it. Every chapter points you to ssa.gov and medicare.gov for the current numbers.

Note: this book is educational and is not personalized financial, tax, or legal advice. Confirm your strategy with the Social Security Administration, Medicare, or a licensed advisor.

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY ROADMAP

The author of the internationally successful book From Zero to Millionaire is back with a book on the best ways to invest in the stock market. Stop treating the stock market like a casino - discover the proven, stress-free strategy that builds lasting wealth. In The Art of Multiplying Your Money, financial journalist and bestselling author Nicolas Bérubé uses rigorous academic research and real-world historical data to dismantle the myth that successful investing requires picking winning stocks, timing the market, or chasing hot tech trends. Instead, he reveals how anyone can achieve exceptional long-term wealth, whether you have $100 or $100 million to invest. Across 17 engaging lessons, this book answers the most pressing questions investors face today. By the time you've finished this book, you'll know the answers to the following questions:- Will the stock market always keep rising? How do you survive if it crashes? - How much can you withdraw from your investments each year to live on? - Is the concentration of the U.S. market in a handful of tech stocks cause for concern? Crucially, the book focuses on the greatest risk of all: human psychology. By highlighting the cognitive biases that lead investors to panic and sabotage their own portfolios, Bérubé teaches readers how to automate their success, providing a comprehensive roadmap to financial independence. Whether you have $100 or $100 million, this is the ultimate guide to passive investing and behavioural finance so you can learn how to ignore the financial noise and let the global market multiply your money whilst you sleep.

The 5 Pillars to Protect Your Wealth and Live the Retirement You Deserve

Peak Retirement

Your money has a direction. The only question is whether you're steering it or drifting.For thirty years, financial advisor Rick Barnett has sat across the table from people at the most vulnerable moments of their financial lives. The 65-year-old whose hands are no longer steady enough to work. The widow unfolding statements her husband once handled alone. The high earner who somehow reached the edge of retirement with far less than the paycheck once promised.The same quiet truth ran through every story: earning money is one skill, and keeping it, growing it, and passing it on wisely is another skill entirely.Consider the evidence. Nearly 8 in 10 NFL players face financial ruin within two years of retiring. Most lottery winners are broke within a few years. Michelin-starred chefs who once cooked for royalty died with almost nothing. Talent, income, and even luck are no protection against a life without a plan. And a goal without a plan, as Barnett puts it, is just a wish.True North is the map and the compass for the second half of your financial life. Written in warm, story-rich prose instead of dense jargon, it turns decades of hard-won expertise into principles any family can understand and actually act on.Inside, you'll discover how to: <ul><li>Build retirement income that doesn't depend on your ability to keep working</li><li>Protect what you've saved from unnecessary taxes and avoidable mistakes</li><li>Handle estate planning and wealth transfer before responsibility shifts to the next generation</li><li>Weather market swings, rising costs, and health surprises without losing your footing</li><li>Leave a legacy of wisdom, not just wealth, because wealth without wisdom only multiplies anxiety</li></ul>This is not a book about beating the market. It's about building something durable: security that steadies the people you love when life is at its weakest and most uncertain.Whether you're years from retirement or already living it, whether you're managing a modest nest egg or a sizable estate, True North will help you find your bearings, hold your course, and create something that outlasts you.Because one day, someone you love will stand exactly where you stand now. What you built will either steady them, or leave them alone in the dark, wondering how they will make it through.Find your true north. Start today.
