for those anxious about retirment
Joseph Duffet's book "Mastering a Happy Retirement" is intended to equip, empower and inspire retirees navigate this life transition. This book seems to be targeted mainly at folks that are anxious about retirement. Folks that arte looking forward to retirment may not see much value in the book, though it does provide a good summary of topics to consider lest your glasses be too rose colored.
