Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
E. Alan Fleischauer's “Reconfiguration” does not leave within the field of a typical retirement guide; rather, it calls for reflective life restructuring at any age. Instead of dealing with just financial tools and strategies, it explores career satisfaction, personal growth, and redefining retirement in itself. This strength comes from specific recommendations and a comprehensive approach, but a USA-centric representation of systems may require modification.
The “plot” plays out as Fleischauer throws a wrench into your retirement plans, threatens damaging myths and misconceptions, and then tosses back to you a handy toolbox brimming with guiding principles. Slowly but steadily, career aptitude tests become your allies, investment breakdowns turn the financial jungle into clear sights of fathomable legibility, and healthcare planning shifts from a minor chore to a meaningful proactive dance with yourself. The tone of the voice used by Fleischauer is free from any form of ambiguity, and it is rather natural as there are elements of jocularity realized in it. Despite the various sophisticated and confusing concepts, he speaks candidly about them, but with vivid and eloquent descriptions of simple examples that help us picture everything perfectly. That means even stock market fluctuations are almost fun to read. The editing weight was no tighter than a ship. Fleischauer drew on all his knowledge and passion to create a book that walks its readers step-by-step through the journey of economic success.
However, be prepared; this road is not for those who are weak of heart. Fleischauer does not talk about things like finances, career movement, or reflection. He encourages you to critically review your paradigms, go beyond the borderlines, and assume control of this process. Certainly, it’s liberating, but there is a cost to this too. Such freedom comes with the need for commitment and self-discipline. The US-prepared emphasis may come across as just a speed bump to some. The core of recommendations tends to be universal, but certain tidbits, as well as resources that need some further guidance, are catering to a US reader.
For me, the book gets 5 out of 5 stars. There were no mistakes, and I didn’t see anything bad, so I took away no stars. The editing was smooth.
So if inspiration, practical tools, and a more integrative philosophy of recrafting your life and not just controlling your money are what you lust for, then hop aboard the reconfiguration train. It’s a journey that may be the one that actually brings you to your dream of the future.
