too much pop psy

What would have made Retirement: A Memoir and Guide - Second Edition better?

less platitudes taken from popular psychology and more personal asides - that's why i got the book - while he qualifies some of his asides as his opinion, which is great, the this is what is good to do is just very obvious

What could Boyd Lemon have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

make it his personal journey - not a stand to lecture on the obvious - various of his conclusions do not resonate - i'm a psychologist so i was very disappointed when he went that way - i do think there is a need for pure first person accounts of retirement

Would you be willing to try another one of Don Hoeksema’s performances?
