In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

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.

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.

A comprehensive guide!
This is one of the most comprehensive retirement guides Ive encountered yet, the author addresses factors such as activity level, activity type, age, travel distance, and finances. One of my favorite parts the author outlined were the variety of tropical water activities for retirees, I had no idea there were so many accessible recreational possibilities in tropical waters, and am excited to explore what pursuits work well for me.
The author was engaging and easy to understand, and the audiobook was laid out in a way that made it easy to digest and listen to. Planning on listening to a few times more.

A great go to for ideas and inspiration
This audiobook has a lot of ideas, so much so that you will definitely find inspiration for what to do in retirement. The author captures all needed considerations; including making sure that you are still doing things which are meaningful to you and fulfil you inside. There's a suggested good balance to activity also.
My only negative is early on, some of the points made did seem a little patronizing, being that this is targeted at mature people who have lived long enough to know the basics of living well....however, I think the author just wants to cover everything needed.
Overall, a really good audiobook and well read.

Best Retirement Guide
Because this book is so unique, I can't wait until retirement, or I want to add these items to my list of things to accomplish as soon as possible. The author did an excellent job of gathering all the exciting things to do, ranging from engaging in creative activities to seeing new places and things to travel. There are bound to be some activities in which retirement is the optimal time to participate. Still, some things would be fascinating no matter your age, such as attending an orchestra or eating at a restaurant with a Michelin star.
The unstructured days that lie ahead after retirement can frequently feel overwhelming to people. On the other hand, this book provides an escape hatch in the form of an exhaustive list of pursuits and goals that will infuse each day of your life with meaning and satisfaction. You'll be able to infuse your life with a whole new level of significance and excitement if you carefully plan holidays and other immersive experiences. Adding new experiences and trips to your itinerary will infuse your life with meaning. The author also discusses volunteering, which is something that can assist in filling that hole in your life when it comes to your purpose. Highly Recommend it.
