 I almost didn't buy this book May 22, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I haven't read them all, but from Armstrong to Zelinski, I've read probably 20+ books on retirement, especially the life planning aspects. This is one of the best. I always review the reviews, and after reading the 3 5 star reviews, all written the month the book came out, I almost passed thinking they were probably done by the authors' or editors' colleagues or friends. (I'm in no way affiliated with this book.) Anyway, I'm really glad I clicked the buy button in my personal lightening deals that day.
The authors have long been headhunters (my interpretation of the jacket blurb), so know well the ins and outs of the workplace and what it takes to be competitive. They lead you through identifying what makes you get up in the morning, offer exercises to uncover dreams and interests that might form the basis for fulfillment in retirement, give a lot of helpful tips on researching and choosing a course, and illustrate it all with examples from their practice. I'd love to work with this pair in person. Very practical, engagingly written, well-referenced.
Help for Couples November 30, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I loved the first edition of Don't Retire Rewire but wanted to know more about how to talk to my husband about our retirement. I had some dreams and ideas but I wasn't sure what my husband was thinking. The new edition gaves me tips on how and even when to start a conversation with him. The couples' stories made me realize I'm not alone in this. The book is full of good advice and knowledge on how to help plan for the future.
Practical advice for retirement planning! November 20, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
"Don't Retire, Rewire!" is an excellent title for this practical resource for people of any age who are thinking ahead to a "working retirement." The authors' Rewire theme is brilliant because it is upbeat, easy to articulate and to understand. Their breezy writing style includes many personal anecdotes that makes it a pleasure -- even fun -- to carry on through the book. The organization is efficient and the tips are wonderful. This book taught me a lot about how to think about this phase of my life to my great advantage, and I am over seventy! Sally Paynter

I loved Don't Retire, Rewire when it was published and the second edition even has more information! This new book is filled with everything you need to know on finding your second career--the process and figuring out your passions and interests. It clearly could be read by any audience and knowledge would pour out.
Jeri and Rick guide you through the whole process and make it fun, interesting and substantial. The advice combined with real life stories, the specifics strategies to incorporate and the easy way it is written to navigate make this another true best seller! Buy it, read it and follow their plan--you will definitely see results!
