Reviews

Silton retired at the age of 59 and is active in such groups as the Over the Hill Gang, a group of senior skiers, and the Plato Society, an organization of older persons devoted to intellectual activities. Here he advises "affluent workaholics," those individuals who used their "skill and talent to achieve identity and well-being through work" and who now have the freedom and the wherewithal to do whatever they choose. Drawing on ancient Chinese philosophy and Confucianism, he outlines the concepts of "kaneka" (rebirth), "wenjen" (cultured person), and "chen-tao" (correct or right path). He offers workbook exercises to help retirees and those preparing to retire explore the possibilities of retirement. Silton considers intellectual and artistic pursuits, self-exploration and spirituality, travel, alternative work, mentoring, volunteerism, hobbies and collecting, physical fitness, and computers and the Internet. He leaves the discussion of financial planning to others but does list financial issues that retirees must face. He concludes with a guide to Web sites that will interest the "actively retired."
