Speaking of Psychology: What does modern retirement look like? With Mo Wang

Forget the stereotype of a goodbye party in the break room followed by endless days on the golf course. Today, workers are staying on the job longer and taking on more “bridge employment,” or post-retirement jobs.

Lanzillotti-McKethan Eminent Scholar Mo Wang talks about what these shifts mean for modern retirement, how retirement can affect people’s mental and physical health, and what workers—even those who still have many years left in the workforce—can do now to help set themselves up for a happy retirement in the future.

Listen to Wang’s insights on the American Psychological Association’s podcast Speaking of Psychology.
