Natalie lives a traditional lifestyle – and has the social media accounts to prove it. Her charming farmhouse on her working ranch is artfully cluttered, her husband is a handsome cowboy, her homemade sourdough boules are each more beautiful than the last.

Then, one morning, Natalie wakes up in a strange, horrible version of reality. Her home, her husband, her children—they’re all familiar, but something’s off. Is this a hoax? A reality show? A test from God? Natalie knows just two things for sure: this isn't her perfect life, and she must escape, by any means possible...

Whether you’re thinking about retiring or are already there, DONE WORKING will help you negotiate your own best way to a contented life... Join Dr Ann Kelly will be in conversation with Dr. Darryl Dymock about his latest non-fiction book, DONE WORKING: Finding Contentment in Retirement on Sunday 30th August from 4pm. 🏠

Finding contentment in retirement is more than a recipe, more than a formula. It’s more than financial planning or choosing aged care. It’s about how we connect the dots in our lives to create the quality of life we aspire to in retirement, to achieve a Goldilocks ‘just right’ balance between ‘too hot’ and ‘too cold’.

In DONE WORKING, Darryl Dymock weaves together the frank advice of 101 retirees, world-wide research and his own insights from conversations and experience to tease out seven ways of finding contentment in retirement.

Fiona Stager, Co-owner of Avid Reader Bookshop and Riverbend Books said, ‘DONE WORKING is a really useful book for those about to retire or for retirees struggling with lack of contentment. I don’t recall seeing anything quite like this on the market.’

Every title in this guide has been carefully chosen by passionate booksellers who love helping young readers find books that spark imagination, comfort, curiosity and courage.Whatever a child’s age or interest, there’s a book here to engage, delight and stay with them long after the past page is turned.
