Retiring?: Your Next Chapter Is About Much More Than Money 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 listeners wrestling with these challenges and, as well, family members and friends eager to help. This book shows how thoughtful planning now dramatically improves your prospects for a happy and fulfilling next chapter.

This book is masterfully read by Scott Pollak.
