This is a great book for anyone. I especially recommend it for 60 plus people who just got laid off or fired. It gives you insightful information and options to pursue to balance work, life, play.

For the first time, I'm eligible to take a retirement incentive from
my full-time teaching job . . . though not quite ready to take advantage
of this option right now, it has gotten me thinking as to what I want
to do next with my life . . . so I was most interested in discovering
DON'T RETIRE, REWIRE! by Jeri Sedlar and
Rick Miners.
This excellent book got me questioning whether I just wanted
to continue teaching indefinitely--or perhaps try something
else . . . the key: to be able to find a work situation that was and is
both financially and personally rewarding, whether it be a
part-time job, volunteer work or even a second career.
Like many of my colleagues, I've been thinking about
this subject for quite some time . . . but that said, I didn't know
quite where to start in determining how to pursue the
subject further.
I now have some good ideas, largely because of the
many useful exercises that DON'T RETIRE, REWIRE!
guided me through . . . among them was the following
Legacy Quiz:
Imagine your funeral. Who will attend? Who do you want
to deliver your eulogy? What would you like that person to say?
What would you like your obituary to say? How would you like to
be remembered by others in your town or community?
I also liked the stories and lessons that the authors shared
from more than 300 real-life retirees they've known.
And I found myself thinking that wouldn't be great if this
happens:
When you rewire, you'll have the chance to become the person you
were meant to be, if you aren't already and to do the things you've
always dreamed of doing. Rewiring is your time to focus on your
discarded dreams, uninvestigated interests, delaying discoveries
and any of the stuff you haven't done or pursued because you were
too busy "doing life."
No longer is retirement so scary, in large part because of
DON'T RETIRE, REWIRE! . . . I strongly recommend it to
anybody still working who is 50 years or older.

I'm so relieved to find practical advice on how to develop and implement an action plan. This book uses storytelling and examples to illustrate the step by step process. The steps can be applied to any life transition, not just retirement.
