Synopsis

“Retiring?” is a practical, concise and encouraging guidebook specifically written to help you understand and plan for the profound, inescapable non-financial challenges that retirement brings.

Today a successful retirement requires much more than financial planning. Retirement triggers profound changes - in the rhythm of your life, in your relationships with family and friends, in your identity. Every individual’s retirement is unique and you need to prepare for these vitally important non-financial challenges. Our goal is to inspire you to do the planning essential for a satisfying, meaningful "next chapter”.

“Retiring?” provides straight-forward, “non-preachy” guidance to help you comfortably focus on key questions – When to retire? Where to live? What will you do with your time? Similarly, you need to think through how you will take care of your body, your mind, your heart and your soul. Questions are clearly explained and accompanied with realistic suggestions, sources of additional help and examples of others’ experiences.

Originally written for those approaching retirement, this guidebook has been enthusiastically welcomed by both already-retired readers wrestling with these challenges and, as well, family members and friends eager to help. “Retiring?”shows how thoughtful planning now dramatically improves your prospects for a happy and fulfilling next chapter.

About the Author

Ted Kaufman is the former U S Senator from Delaware succeeding Senator Joseph Biden. He was Biden's Chief of Staff for 19 years and headed up his 2020 Presidential Transition. He retired in 1995 and over the next 22 years taught courses at Duke University in the Law School, Fuqua School of Business, and Sanford School of Public Policy. At eighty-two, he and his wife, Lynne, celebrate their sixty-second anniversary this year.
 
Bruce Hiland's entire career -  Brown University, Navy officer, Wharton MBA, McKinsey, CAO at Time Inc., 20 years of CEO-level consulting, four startups and considerable community service - focused on the challenges and opportunities people experienced in their work life. With that history, focusing on the challenges of succeeding at retirement came naturally.  Now eighty-one, he and Ginny, his wife/partner of fifty-eight years, enjoy their family, deal with aging and are harvesting the fruits of their labor.

Reviews

An engaging retirement self-help guide. - Many retirement books focus largely on the bottom line: financial planning, retirement savings accounts, Social Security benefits, and the like. A handful of works take a different tack, though, such as this one, which the authors dub “a guidebook to help you plan the next chapter of your life.” Kirkus Reviews
