Rogue's Road to Retirement

How to Get Your Groove Back After Sixty

De: George S. Rider

Narrado por: Allan Robertson

George S. K. Rider's The Rogue's Road to Retirement takes a unique approach to growing old don't do it! After retiring, Rider embarks on a bumpy journey to find himself and a new lease on life. For the first time, he gets in touch with his creative side an unusual direction indeed, since he spent 70 years of his life as a college athlete turned Navy officer turned Wall Street trader and weekend jock. Told through a series of uproariously humorous and sometimes poignant adventures, The Rogue's Road to Retirement is about getting back in touch with your inner rascal and getting off your duff (George ends up in an MTV video, a Pepsi ad doing the polka, and Sports Illustrated)! Rider's adventures and stories reflect on finding a new passion in retirement by: being kind to your kids (after all, you need them to do the lawn work now); discovering the joys of guilt-tripping your grandchildren into hanging out with you; struggling with the age-old dilemma take another nap or go to the gym; driving your spouse nuts now that you’re both home 24/7; barhopping (or barhobbling) after 65; savoring the sweet memories of friends and loves ones now gone; and much more.

The Rogue's Road to Retirement is about the rebels, raconteurs, and rous who refuse to grow old gracefully, who want to grow old the way they grew up raising hell, having fun, and giving their kids and grandkids a run for their money.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"George Rider is a sage, a rascal, a raconteur, a patriot, and a supreme sentimentalist, who trains his gimlet eye (more accurately, his vodka-gimlet eye) on the passages and rituals of American life and family. He is also a literary revelation: the fresh new voice of the Bad-Boy Octogenarian." (David Friend, Vanity Fair editor of creative development)

Interesting story with enthusiastic story teller.

Liked story and delivery. Well written story. Looked forward to listening to the speaker. Positive story.

loved this story!!!

I was touched by his stories, laughed, cried and as a semi retired person appreciated his pursuit of life.

Fun story, but not what the title says

I'm approaching retirement age and picked this up for some ideas for planning for my own retirement -- not financially, but for approaches and ideas for how to spend my time and find new interests. The first few chapters followed along this theme, but the book quickly just turned into a lot of reminiscing and story telling from the author's past. Not uninteresting, but not what I'd signed up for. Fun read, but be aware of what you're getting.

Good Memoir

He has such an active life with tons of personal family stories. it is like viewing someone's photo album or watching a strangers home movies.

A collection of personal stories

I felt like his grandkids must feeling when he launches another memory (lots of rambling)
