Praise for The Spirit of Retirement:
"Jim Autry gets to the heart of the matter with The Spirit of Retirement. Combining a poet's understanding with down-home common sense, he gives us more than a manual for the later years. He offers a rich, full life." — Roger Rosenblatt, essayist and frequent commentator on PBS
"Jim Autry's book is as much a guide to living well as retiring well. Reading his ideas and inspiring tales of others facing or experiencing retirement makes one feel less lonely." — Warren Bennis, distinguished professor of business at University of Southern California and coauthor of Geeks and Geezers: How Era, Values, and Defining Moments Shape Leaders
"Through Autry's great gift for making the stories of real people come alive, he has created a book that is inspiring and hopeful, yet immensely practical and helpful. We are bombarded daily with financial advice for planning our retirement, but we need Autry's wise voice for the far greater task of being our fullest and truest selves during our retirement years." — C. Michael Thompson, executive development consultant and author of The Congruent Life: Following the Inward Path to Fulfilling Work and Inspired Leadership
"The Spirit of Retirement is a powerful and persuasive book—an inspiring look at the changing attitudes toward retirement. James Autry charts new territory in this engaging look at the nature of spirit, creativity, and developing a purposeful life. You owe it to yourself to read this book." — Larry C. Spears, CEO, the Robert K. Greenleaf Center for Servant-Leadership and author of Focus on Leadership: Servant-Leadership for the 21st Century
"Don't wait until you're 50 to read this book. James Autry has packaged a gift for each of us—the gift of the rest of our lives. I read this book because I needed it and didn't know it. I had zero interest in retirement. I didn't want to think about it, read about it, or write about it. The Spirit of Retirement has changed all that for me." — John Mack Carter, former president, Hearst Magazine Enterprises
