DESCRIPTION:
" This is a superb book to buy for all your friends on their 50th birthday!" – Boomer Times
Great for providing options vanessa hamm Awesome but assumes you are retiring with grown children and senior in age. Its about your personality L. JOHNSON I'm a retired therapist and stock broker currently reviewing the retirement lit for my men's support group. This book is different from the rest which are mostly financial or testimonials. It offers personality type assessments and suggests actionable ideas based on your type. Other concepts are: identity reshaping, self-realization(discover your passion), readjustment time and related issues, updating your value system, relocation considerations and assessment, your tolerance for uncertainty, and self-reflection. He offers 6 questions we all try to answer: Why am I here? How much time do I have left?. Look it over before you buy. Perhaps aging is really very simple. Because most of the guidance this book offers is just common sense solutions to the problems of growing old. And since one of the by-products of aging is (one can't help hoping) common sense, then it goes without saying, why bother to read this book?Sorry, but the authors' rather simplistic style and approach put me off.hmmm.lots of words that don't say much. Reminds me of the education textbooks of my youth. Not a good thing!Seriously, look before you buy. You may find more useful content than I did. From my perspective, this book had little to offer.
