New Retirementality : Planning your life and living your dreams at any age you want.

Amazon.com
The New Retirementality outlines a cleverly named concept that should be of interest to anyone uneasy with the traditional requirement that Americans totally drop one portion of their lives--the working part--simply because they've reached a certain age. Author Mitch Anthony offers, instead, an alternative for a more balanced period of later life that's based entirely on personal desires and that ultimately could change, rather than merely buck, societal norms. Demanding a "philosophical shift in life planning" as well as a "fiscal shift in resource management," it calls for carefully reviewing individual thoughts about retirement, defining activities that would make it personally meaningful (and which will likely include continued employment of some kind), and preparing for the transition well in advance by simplifying both external and internal matters. Anecdotes about those who already have done so and inspirational suggestions from Anthony should provide motivation for readers who agree that flexible, phased retirement is preferable to the jarring lifestyle change enforced upon our parents. "Retirement as we know it today," Anthony concludes, "is a relic from a time and a world that have long since passed." --Howard Rothman

Book Description
Retirement Just Got Turned on Its Head!
All you need to do is look around to see that times are changing. The vision of a retirement spent sipping martinis and playing golf can be more of a dead end than a dream. For many of us, retirement may span 30 years or longer and will not be viewed as an isolated economic event but rather a part of ongoing life planning. The "new retirementality" is the ability to achieve the freedom to pursue your own goals, at your own pace, on your own terms, regardless of your age. The New Retirementality will help you paint a detailed portrait of your own perfect future and show you how to achieve it.
