Book Reviews of Work Less, Live More: The Way to Semi-Retirement

Book Review: Tons of good, usable financial and motivational advice
Summary: 5 Stars

I read this book cover to cover after getting it and am now going through it more slowly, taking notes on all the useful bits of advice. To be honest, I'd never thought about "semi-retirement" until I heard of this book, and it's proved to be the one idea that excites me.

The tone is pitched just right for people who have been saving and investing for years and are informed but still need some basic guidance for this new period of life. The book gives you strong kudos for living below your means and then helps you figure out how that translates into leaving the rat race earlier than you could ever have hoped for. I especially liked the chapters "Put Your Investing on Autopilot," "Take 4% Forever," and "Do Anything You Want, But Do Something." Each of them have very specific advice, examples, and resources and appealed to me in their simplicity.

I really couldn't have found a better book as I contemplate leaving corporate America at age 48, and I plan to refer back to it many times. Now I feel more ready and excited "to pursue the rest of my life"...

Summary of Work Less, Live More: The Way to Semi-Retirement

Ready to pursue the rest of your life? Get going with Work Less, Live More.

Finalist for The Publishers Marketing Associations Benjamin Franklin Award

Professionally, you're experiencing the success that years of hard work brings -- but the long hours are taking their toll and you're burning out fast.

Fortunately, there is an alternative to the grind: Semi-retirement. Work fewer hours, realize your goals and dreams, spend time with your loved ones-- and do it all years, even decades, before the "normal" retirement age of 65.

With Work Less, Live More and a little planning, you can do it. The book provides a rational investment system based on Nobel Prize-winning research, a safe lifelong withdrawal plan and sensible spending guidelines.

More importantly, the book provides the inspiring stories and insights of many successful early semi-retirees, walking proof that meaningful work-- rather than full-time work-- is both fulfilling and rewarding.

The 2nd edition focuses on every age group -- especially "late bloomers" who may feel way behind. It also includes more information on healthcare issues.

If you're ready to pursue the rest of your life, turn to Work Less, Live More and get going!
