What Color is Your Parachute:Retirement, 2008-09-21
Thus book us a timely addition to my library since I just retired last week. Good practical suggestions, very readable and easy to understand. It fully met my exoectations, offering the same quality I found in the origional "Parachute" book.

A Reasoned Leap of Faith, 2008-06-11
Richard Bolles and John Nelson lead people planning reitement through an exploraation of who they are and who they want to be. Through a wholistic approach, the future retiree is given the tools to examine the main issues involved in planning retirement. How to look at one's health, finances, environment, passions and social needs are put forth. A great manual for looking at what retirement can be for you.

 Disappointment, 2008-02-29
Certainly not cut from the same cloth as the original "What Color . . ." publication. Far too much time spent discussing basics so widely covered elsewhere. I had hoped that there would be more "tools" provided for relevant decision making. This was a waste of good money.

Good checklist, 2008-02-13
This book covers things you might not have considered when looking at retirement, and encourages you to think about what's important in your life. It's a good guidebook for retirement.

 Great read with great guidance and great referrals, 2008-01-11
This book is simply the best broad treatment of issues for the prospective retiree or already retired person that I am aware of. It covers all the bases and is presented in an easy-to-read style. It is meant to appeal to readers from a broad background and thus has content which is trivial in places (to me). But don't make reviewer George Fulmore's mistake of confusing the occasional trivial, repetitive, or (intentionally) internally contradictory words as meaningless or worthless: nothing could be further from the truth. Much of this reflects our society's ignorance, uncertainty and ambivalence about the topics under consideration, especially those that are now dramatically changing due to increasing life spans.
I particularly like the author's consistent inclusion of recommendations for further (and deeper) study and thought. I have uncovered a wealth of great material in following those leads.
