| How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free: Retirement Wisdom That You Won't Get from Your Financial Advisor by Ten Speed Press Excellent book | I've read many, many books on retirement, being an author of one myself The New Retirement: Revised and Updated: The Ultimate Guide to the Rest of Your Life.
Mr. Zelinski's book is optimistic and fun, and promotes a positive aspect of retirement that I like - an opportunity to take control of your time. A good read that focues on some of the all-so-important (but often ignored) non-financial aspects of retirement. | | How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free: Retirement Wisdom That You Won't Get from Your Financial Advisor by Ten Speed Press Maybe a Blinding Glimpse into the Obvious, But.... | | Zelinski offers a number of BGO's but I've known too many folks who have moved on into retirement without giving much heed to the straightfoward advice he offers. We all may know how much money we have (or don't have)when we retire, but we may not "what" we're retiring to or think about "who" we will be when we do so. I think he may have over-simplified some of the pre-retirement mental exercises, but he does hit home that we have to have faith in ourselves and respect for (rather than fear of) the unknowns. | | How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free: Retirement Wisdom That You Won't Get from Your Financial Advisor by Ten Speed Press A Fun Read | Earnie Zelinski writes "Happy, Wild and Free" in the same easy, light style as "The Joy of Not Working." He has created an excellent resource for those of us looking for the meaning of "life after work." I particularly liked Chapter 6, "Your Wealth is Where Your Frieds Are." Life after retirement is so much more than just having enough money, and Zelenski makes that case very well. Some very good advice is contained in these pages.

Author, "Your Retirement, Your Way." | | How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free: Retirement Wisdom That You Won't Get from Your Financial Advisor by Ten Speed Press One of the best books on retirement attitudes | I love this book!
Most speak about planning, goals, etc but this one discusses the emotional aspects of retirement and how to process your thoughts when you have time on your hands.
This should be required reading for everybody....retired or not! | | How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free: Retirement Wisdom That You Won't Get from Your Financial Advisor by Ten Speed Press The Best Book Available on the Non-financial Aspects of Retirement | I first noticed that "How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free" appeared in Amazon.com's "Customers who bought this item also bought" list for virtually any other significant book on retirement. So I bought Zelinski's book. I was not disappointed.
Two reviewers state that this book is the same as Zelinski's international bestseller "The Joy of Not Working". This is not true. Although the two books have some similarities, "How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free" is strictly for the retired or soon-to-be retired, whereas "The Joy of Not Working" is directed -- not only at the retired and the unemployed -- but also at working people who want a great work/life balance.
If I were a personal coach who gives advice to the newly retired, I would recommend "How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free" to my clients as the best non-financial retirement book. If I was a corporate human resource manager, I would be purchasing this book in quantity to give to all of my company's retiring employees.
In short, "How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free" is the best book I have read on the personal aspects of retirement. The chapters are devoted to the consideration of activities that enhance body, mind, and spirit. Zelinski quotes from many sources, but his attitude is reflected in this excerpt from his own writing:
"You will have attained true freedom in this world when you can get up in the morning when you want to get up; go to sleep when you want to go to sleep; and in the interval, work and play at the things you want to work and play at -- all at your own pace. The great news is that retirement allows you the opportunity to attain this freedom."
| | How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free: Retirement Wisdom That You Won't Get from Your Financial Advisor by Ten Speed Press Book Description | | Retirement does not have to mean the end of life—in fact it can mean a whole new beginning to the life you never had time to explore. In HOW TO RETIRE HAPPY, WILD, AND FREE, best-selling author Ernie J. Zelinksi shows that the key to enjoying an active and satisfying retirement is dependent on much more than just having adequate financial resources. It means paying attention to all aspects of life, including leisure activities, creative pursuits, physical and mental well-being, and solid social support. With its friendly format, lively cartoons, and captivating quotations, Zelinski’s guide offers inspirational advice on how to follow your dreams instead of someone else’s, how to put your retirement in proper perspective, and how to enjoy life after work. |
