Thrive in Retirement: Simple Secrets for Being Happy for the Rest of Your Life by Eric Thurman

5.0

Thrive in Retirement may be the best self-help book ever written. Ever. The title suggests its audience is limited to those facing or in retirement, but even a young whipper-snapper facing the job market for the first time should become familiar with the concepts addressed in Eric Thurman’s book. Not only easy to read, Thrive in Retirement is fun to read. Filled with wit, wisdom, inspiration, and encouragement, Eric Thurman’s book explains the necessity of balancing life with purpose, pleasure, and peace. Contained within its pages and the appendices following its chapters are resource materials, research, and references that overwhelmingly support Thurman’s premise. Retirement is misnamed. Retirement is not an end to life or a dropping off point. Happiness can and should prevail through an individual’s third phase of life. With all its profundity, Thrive in Retirement boils down its lofty principles with easy to use practical pointers. I look forward to release of this book so I can purchase it to give copies to my friends transitioning to the next phase of their lives. It is the phase of life I learned from Thrive in Retirement should be anything but “retiring.”

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers of Thrive in Retirement for an advance copy of this brilliant book.
