When Retirement Strains Relationships

The author of "Too Much Togetherness" explains why retirement can be stressful.

Miriam Goodman, an accomplished journalist, award-winning radio and television producer, and author of Too Much Togetherness: Surviving Retirement as a Couple, tackles such topics as:

  • Do retired men turn into their fathers?

  • Why retirement is a feminist issue

  • The G-men: Ghost, Glommer, Grumbler, Gypsy, General

  • Why women should not feel guilty about having free time

And, as a special bonus, she also talks about her Village in San Francisco and how it works to help elders age in place successfully.
