Product Description

Review

This book comprises so much more than financial planning. Many of the books and magazines that discuss retirement focus on building a nest egg, investing, and accumulating wealth. But the best way to find happiness during retirement is to have health, friends, and interests. Zelinski suggests retirement is not a time to rest. Retirement is a time to be active, learn, travel, or start a new career. Whether your finances allow travel, a vacation home, or learning to live on less, many options for retirement are open. The author shares the story of a family who moved to a log cabin in the mountains with no furniture. They were very happy enjoying nature and fresh air. Other retirees are happy living in a city, doing volunteer work, or traveling.

I would not hesitate to share this book with friends, colleagues, or clients. Investigating the many options for retirement is even more important now than when the book was first written. With so many people having to change or rethink their retirement plans, this book is a breath of fresh air. At a time when people need inspiration and hope for their futures, learning How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free may be just what they need. --Nancy Miller, Quintessential Careers

Product Description

How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free offers inspirational advice on how to enjoy life to its fullest. The key to achieving an active and satisfying retirement involves a great deal more than having adequate financial resources; it also encompasses all other aspects of life - interesting leisure activities, creative pursuits, physical well-being, mental well-being, and solid social support.

World-class author, innovator, and unconventional career expert Ernie J. Zelinski guides you to:

  • Gain courage to take early retirement; in fact, the earlier the better.
  • Put money in proper perspective so that you don't need a million dollars to retire.
  • Generate purpose in your retirement life with meaningful creative pursuits.
  • Follow your dreams instead of someone else's.
  • Take charge of your mental, physical, and spiritual health.
  • Better envision you retirement goals - including where you want to live.
  • Above all, make your retirement years the best time of your life.

What sets this retirement book apart from all the others is its holistic approach to the fears, hopes, and dreams that people have about retirement. This international bestseller (over 110,000 copies sold in its first edition) goes way beyond the numbers that is often the main focus of retirement planning in most retirement books.

There are many ingredients of a happy retirement and several retirement planning tools that help retirees plan for their retirement in new and more meaningful ways. One of the most powerful tools is The Get-a-Life Tree that you won't find in any other retirement books.

In short, the retirement wisdom in this book will prove to be much more important than how much money you have saved. How to Retire Happy Wild, and Free helps readers create an active, satisfying, and happy retirement in a way such that they don't need a million dollars to retire.

This book does what it says. I bought several retirement books and most were not useful...... no use telling me how to invest for my retirement once I have got there!
Full of fun and practical ideas and makes the most of the opportunity retirement provides to re-invent ourselves once we are free of the tyranny of work.
An American book but just as useful for folk in the UK. Don't bother with any other book but this one and you will have lots of fun in retirement.

Nothing new here... 5 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
This was purchased to help give insight into just what the realities are of retiring early. In the write-up for the book it promised to shed light on just how much money you need for retirement and this was never even mentioned. The book is clearly intended for the US market and has no bearing on UK audiences. It's repetitive, vacuous and a waste of money. I wouldn't even say it was particularly amusing. I'd return it except I have read it and that wouldn't be ethical. It'll go on Ebay in the next few days- don't waste your money on this book (save it for retirement instead)!

Format:Paperback
With eight weeks to go before retirement, I needed some help! My financial plans were in place (sort of. as much as they can be these days), but I had no idea about how would I cope with colleagues no longer around, missing the workplace water-cooler moments and no longer having a very busy 24/7 work schedule. I felt pretty foolish that I'd had 40 years to prepare for this, but had no plans about how to spend the next phase of my life. This inspirational, funny and very readable book by Ernie Zelinski has given me a template for how to get the most out of my retirement. The premise is that not to plan for an active retirement is to set yourself up for a difficult one. To be bored is to retire from life, so the book takes you through practical planning to establish a lifestyle that is adventurous, rewarding and exciting. One minor downside is that it is written for the North American market, but the basic wisdom is pretty much global. Anybody about to retire should read this book.
