Whether bank clerk, steel worker, school leaver or solicitor, we will all at some time in our lives find ourselves without work, whether for two months or two years; whether because of unemployment, disability, redundancy, retirement or even choice. This book is for everyone who is faced with this important life challenge.
Christine Ingham reveals how circumstances in what might be a difficult, even distressing time can be harnessed and used as agents of change, growth, and personal transformation; a window of opportunity through which comes a chance to begin shaping your new life.
Life Without Work
aims to provide a springboard for your own ideas and new starting points, while also addressing how to deal with the more difficult issues which can present themselves. It will help you discover your ability to transform your own ‘life without work’ into a welcome new beginning.
