You see it in your health and even in your family life. Your ambitions no longer include the rat race. You're thinking that retirement can't come soon enough.

Fortunately, there s an alternative to the grind: Early semi-retirement. Work fewer hours, realize your goals and dreams, spend time with your loved ones and do it all years, even decades, before the "normal" retirement age of 65.

With Work Less, Live More and a little planning, you can do it.

More importantly, the book provides inspiring stories and insights of many successful early semi-retirees, walking proof that meaningful work rather than full-time work is both fulfilling and rewarding.
