Critic reviews

“A successful career needs a plan - a successful retirement does too. Don't put off your BEST chapter because you haven't figured out what to do. This step-by-step guide will show you a future you didn't know was possible!” (Sunny Kobe Cook, Inc. Magazine NW Woman Entrepreneur of the Year)

“Robin Ryan opens our hearts and minds to a world of possibilities. This is a superb, must-read guide for baby boomers who want nothing less than the best for their next act.” (Henry DeVries, Forbes)

“Robin Ryan has dedicated her career to thinking and writing about effective solutions to career challenges, and it shows in all of her books. Retirement Reinvention continues that effort successfully, and should be a must-read for everyone approaching retirement and for the HR teams who are advising pre-retirement employees within their organizations.” (Tony Lee, vice president, Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM))

Annoyingly Redundant

Although it liked the ideas and stories of retirees, I could not complete because the author continually repeated the same concepts and explanations.

Best retirement book I’ve found!

This book contains endless ideas and resources for things to consider doing in retirement. Real life examples of what others have done during their retirement is extremely helpful. It really shows the possibilities are endless and has made me excited for my retirement. Everyone should read this!

Loved it

I really enjoyed this audiobook and I’m looking forward to life after retirement. I hope everybody that listens to this enjoys it as much as I do Gee.

Redundant and unhelpful

It makes its one valuable point ("stay active and involved") very early on-- then repeats it over and over. One would expect the author to know her material well enough to make it interesting, but whatever the author's other skills, she's not a natural reader.

Simplistic

While the content is important and the author seems to want to impart it thoughtfully, the language is written for children and approaches condescension at times. Essentially, this is 30 minutes of information packed into an 8 hour audio book.
