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

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.

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

Excellent book regardless where you are in life and especially if you are attempting to 'figure out' your 'retirement' time - It is filled with humor and great ideas about NOT 'retiring'

This is one of those books that is a great read and listened to in an effort to glean everything it has to offer.

The four hours for the listen go quick and as I noted, it has enough humor to make you laugh out loud.

Well worth the time and money.

Excellent and not just for retirees

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.

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

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.

Very fun to listen to. Great advice!

What's the beef with this book? It was filled with great advice, lots of humor, and was concise and helpful.

If you're expecting specific financial/investment tips, this is not the book. (There are plenty of those.) If you're looking for a book about approaching retirement from a mental point of view, this IS the book.

Definitely recommended.

Not sure what others wanted. This is great!!

What a fantastic book! Just entering into retirement and lots of good challenging questions, humor, and crushing of myths and old belief systems about what retirement is. I recommend this book to anybody regardless of your age as you think about your future.

Incredible insights, ideas and humor.

This book is not just for couples who are about to retire. Couples that plan together stay together at any age.

Every couple should read this today.

For some reason I thought I would hear some financial ideas and how to be retired with purpose and still be comfortable financially. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the book and agree with author's statements.

Live with purpose
