RETIRE & THRIVE
Otterbourg, Robert
Kiplinger (1995)
Third Edition, Kiplinger (2003)

Virtually every book on retirement focuses on financial or physical health. RETIRE & THRIVE is different and original. It zeros in on the question that really preoccupies prospective and recent retirees: What the hell will I do with myself? Most middle class retirees today don't have the same money and health worries their parents had. Their biggest problem is psychological: they're bored silly by the lack of challenge in their lives. And that is exactly the problem for which RETIRE & THRIVE offers real and proven solutions. It demonstrates that their lives can be more interesting and challenging than ever if they follow the examples set by the adventurous retirees profiled in this book. Based on in-depth interviews with more than 100 such trailblazers, RETIRE & THRIVE is filled with thought-provoking experiences and interesting anecdotes to broaden the horizons of prospective and new retirees as they plan their futures. Otterbourg, himself approaching retirement age, is a frequent contributor of human interest articles to Newsday, the New York Times and other publications.
