A very good book to read if you would like to start planning for the "third act" of your life. It can encourage you to think about, plan for, and investigate your life's passion as well as your options, so that when you decide to retire, you won't feel adrift with no purpose, but instead will have a plan, so e. Ideas, or just a better understanding of what your next phase of life will be like. Sadly, Bronfman died in December, 2013, as It would have been interesting to hear more from him about his own retirement. The only downside of the book is that everyone he interviewed was either very wealthy or famous, which can make plans for the future quite a bit different than if you are wondering how you will do what you are passionate about if you need to figure out how you are going to live on a limited fixed income. But then, that is why we should all start thinking and planning as early as possible.
