Retirement Missing Link- What Wall Street Doesn't Tell You and Main Street Overlooks!

Retirement is the mother of life's transitions! But our societal culture doesn't tell you that. Check out current retirement titles-- it's all about finances and leisure; how to maximize investments andkeep busy once retired.

Frankly, boomers and many current retirees are coming up wanting. More information is needed on how to view retirement's fullpicture and, more importantly, how to personally prepare for the complexity of the major life transition lying ahead-- maybe 20-30 years worth!

This 2-part book by Certified Retirement Consultant and author, John Lewandoski, brings common sense linking of personal factors of retirement andthe complexities of aging to the sensibilities of baby boomers saturated by a culture mostly ignoring what boomers really need to hear.

As example, the transition from simply leaving the structure of career to 'what's next' is profound. As with adolescence, retiring can involve a mix of frustration, confusion, even alienation. Everything changes. Most boomers are largely oblivious to such potential eventualities.

Factor in aging! Aging is an ugly word most preparing to retire never talk about. Aging, unfortunately, shapes the retirement landscape. Several chapters concentrate on the linkage of the retirement/aging phenomenom, and provide insight and helps reconciling the two.

Part One deals with sometime raw retirement realism with which most boomers are unfamiliar; Part Two turns the corner and points the reader toward genuine retirement fulfillment and how to get there.

Although a wake-up call to the serious-minded boomer, and current retiree, the 28 chapters encourage and specifically guide toward a retirement that is everything realistic-- the good, the bad, and the fulfilling possibilities! What can they be? An exhilarating time of self-discovery, new life direction, even fresh beginnings! It's all about helping the boomer navigate the maze of total retirement, toward developing a personal, meaningful, later-life agenda.
