Book Reviews of Don't Retire,REWIRE!, 2E
Book Review: Retirement Is So Yesterday; This Book Shifts the Paradigm to Rewirement!
Summary: 5 Stars
With all the doom and gloom nowadays around retirement -- Social Security is going bust!, Aging is a drag! Healthcare costs are skyrocketing! -- we seem to have buried the lead which is the good news that we are living longer than at any other time in human history. And it is from this premise that Jeri Sedlar and Rick Miner's passionate book takes off. Rather than seeing the post-work years as an ending, they see it as a new beginning. This simple paradigm shift then alters so much of what mainstream culture has led us to believe about what happens after 65 (the authors even question the very concept of there needing to be a "retirement age.")
In addition to being ready financially, the authors stress how vital it is to be prepared emotionally -- and not just in the classic sense of accepting that our identity will not be coming anymore from out job title -- but more profoundly of moving into who we want to be in this next phase in life. From this vantage point the authors then launch into a series of practical steps, checklists, and personal inventories readers can work through. All of which are corroborated with story after story of people who successfully made the paradigm shift.
Practical, inspiring, and with unexpected insights this book could change your life.
