The crisis of unfulfilled lives unfolds gradually, often with acquiesced boredom and a flimsy search for purpose. Our relevancy comes into question, or we succumb to the idea that the future will be one of slow-moving ambition and then an even slower glide into comfort as the flush of freedom fades. We can change this outcome if we want to. We should want to. The 60-Something Crisis: How to Live an Extraordinary Life in Retirement is the first book to circumvent the tired approaches of finding purpose, or using reinvention to discover a path of fulfillment after sixty.

Story
John Piper challenges fellow baby boomers to forego the American dream of retirement and live out their golden years with a far greater purpose in mind. They say it's a person's reward for all those years of labor. "Turn in your time card and trade in your IRAs. Let travel plans and golf-course leisure lead the way." But is retirement really the ideal? Or is it a series of poor options that ignore a greater purpose-and will kill a person more quickly than old age? John Piper responds,"Lord, spare me this curse!"

Story
Recent statistics suggest that nearly two-thirds of Americans regret not planning properly for retirement. We tend to underestimate the key factors of retirement planning: our total lifespan; the probable length of our retirement; and, perhaps most significant, how much money we’ll need to fund those years in retirement. In fact, retirement planning can feel so overwhelming that many of us put off thinking about it at all until it’s too late to make the necessary changes.

The virtual voice is horrible
Story was good. It was an honest look at retirement, but the virtual voice should never be used to ever again on any book. It was horrible.

Some good advice
The narration is awful. Such a personal account could have really benefited from a personal voice that pronounced words properly. Some good observations from the writer however.

Interesting but in need of editing
I am retiring this week. I'm very interested in the decisions I'll be called on to answer and the answers that a thoughtful person came up with to those questions. This is that. I found it thought provoking. But it is about 60% too long and would benefit from some context at the beginning about the authors life pre retirement and then a postscript on what has happened since the book closed. Writing an entry everyday was a good way to come up with a manuscript but it needs a brutal edit. It is repetitive and full of cliches. I read it while doing other things so tuned in and out. I'd like to see it re-edited an reissued. It is a topic that needs more resources.
