Really liked this book. I've read several on this subject and this is the first one that really probes into the "new" retirement paradigm Love that word. Here is a quote: Its enough time to do "it" all over again - differently, better, and with the benefit of experience and freedom of focus. You may want to attempt a profession you didn't try the first time around. In Retire Retirement, Tamara Erickson reviews the intellectual, social, emotional and generational challenges of the coming decades. Retirement as we know it is a non-starter. The decades following traditional work require creativity and planning and this books continues the dialogue in clear and inviting terms.

As an expert in workplace planning, Tamara Erickson accurately captures the sentiment of the boomer generation in the title of her book. Her research supports the desire for most boomers to continue to work well beyond the traditional retirement age and explains why it is not very practical to consider full retirement for this generation given the realities of longer, healthier living.

Boomers are redefining retirement and just in time for the workplace that is facing a talent gap of major proportions. In 5 useful chapters, Erickson outlines the career strategies that can help a boomer achieve their goals in the next phase of their life, which Erickson calls "middlessence". You will learn why you think the way you do, have your assumtions about retirement challenged, sort through your options in a practical and helpful way, learn how to renegotiate your employment or work deal with an employer to get what you really want, and be challenged to reinvent your career and your life for greater satisfaction and fulfillment.

This is a great text for every boomer and for every employer who works with boomers or needs to fill a talent gap! The Total System 3rd Ed.

As someone shuffling towards the "Third Phase of Life" I found Tamara Erickson's book an essential guide to planning for an active and involved retirement. Her definition of retirement as "A New Life Stage" is encouraging and the options that she lists are practical pointers towards making the most of the rest of your life. Buy this book in your mid-to-late fifties, as I did and give yourself plenty of time to not only read, understand and own the ideas she writes about, but to make practical plans for building the springboard you need to actively dive into the exciting possibilities of retirement, rather than passively falling into the abyss of old age.

It begins with the profound wisdom of suggesting "Doing What You Want" is the basis for retirement planning and then goes on to treat this in the same way that any executive would approach a business plan, including advice on networking and "Redefining Your Own Brand" - all of which offers a very reassuring and practical approach to defining what you want out of life and going about getting it.

It will serve a lot of needs. I think Gen Y is going to be eager to know what to do. The book's premise seems to be that you should continue working instead of retiring because you have the power to negotiate terms with employers. Should you continue working if you can afford instead to retire? The idea that you have 30 years left at retirement age is statistically not true. Sure, some people will live to be 90 or But the average person reading this review will die before age So, at 65 you are likely to have only 15 years OR LESS to take hikes, be stress-free, play with your grandchildren, and so forth.

If you have to work for financial reasons, fine.
