I wasn't sure if I could finish it at first.

The book is heavy on the mental challenge to retirement and that is what I was looking for. I've listened to others on the sam topic. At first, I found the narrator annoying. He sounded like Lloyd Bridges from the movie Airplane. There are a lot of quotes in the book were the author or his examples speak in absolutes. "I always do this", "I never do that". It all sounded like it was coming from old, curmudgeonly, people. There were enough meat and potatoes type tips in the book to offset any small annoyance and there were solid takeaways. I even got used to the narrator by the end of it.

Not as much how-to as the what and why.

This was a great "perspective" read, and a mind-opening invitation to adjust your paradigm about retirement. Being at that point myself in weeks I found it a compelling book, that was performed extremely appropriately.

Very fun to listen to. Great advice!

A whole new way to look at life after retirement. I also loved the retirement jokes LoL.
You will enjoy this one even if you aren't retired.

Loved this so much!

Most helpful retirement book I’ve read!
Great advice thank you this has been very helpful!

Being Retired is the joyous life you dreamt of

Living a purposefully beautiful retirement takes planning and insight. This a great read before retirement.
