For some accomplished people, putting a successful career behind them to enter retirement can be a daunting prospect to face. Others worry, sometimes unnecessarily, about financial and health concerns. And for some, the huge blank canvas of a looming life of leisure is more anxiety-provoking than it is exciting.
