About this title

From the Back Cover:

"Reading the essays in editor Mark Evan Chimsky's anthology "65 Things to Do When You Retire" is like having your own brainstorming session with 65 highly knowledgeable men and women of a certain age and many different walks of life. The collection is full of candor, humor and wisdom. Some essayists inspire as they chronicle how they faced the shock and inertia of a suddenly blank calendar after their jobs ended—and then rebounded to set (and meet) such diverse post-50 goals as training for the Senior Olympics, moving to another country, returning to writing and founding a prison ministry. Others present step-by-step strategies for putting together a retirement game plan that will suit your temperament, interests and budget." - Wall Street Journal
