Review of Reconfigurement
Posted: 22 Feb 2024, 20:59
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
E. Alan Fleischauer's book, 'Reconfigurement,' delves into the topic of retirement and the importance of making thoughtful decisions. According to the author, humans seem to have an extended period of activity but a shorter duration to earn money. Improper planning could turn retirement into a burden. The book offers insights on overcoming financial challenges and selecting the right path. Obtain a copy to explore further aspects of retiring wisely.
The author's positive and genuine demeanor is evident in his writing. He redefines retirement as a "turning point" for achieving one's dreams and aspirations. Unlike some of his peers who view aging and retirement as a "late-life crisis," he encourages readers to take a career assessment test, identify their passion, and either pursue it as a side business or as the foundation for a new career. Furthermore, he urges readers to continue pursuing their interests even after retiring. There are links for self-assessment tests, which provide readers with an opportunity for deeper self-discovery.
I admire how the author drew from personal experiences to illustrate his arguments. The incorporation of humor and factual information made the book engaging and accessible. Intriguingly, the author adopts the persona of a financial advisor, opting for a conversational approach rather than inundating the reader with technical jargon. I applaud the author for providing citations to support his points and for enhancing the book with visually informative graphs. The straightforward writing style ensures clarity and coherence, making the content both comprehensible and enjoyable to read. The author's writing style is exceptionally good.
However, there are things I dislike in the book. At times, the author veers off course, and his tangents detract from the main concepts he's trying to convey. Additionally, he advocates for working longer hours without specifying a cutoff time, leaving readers uncertain about when it's appropriate to permanently unwind. Despite these issues, the author and editor did an excellent job. The book is exceptionally edited, as I couldn't detect any errors in the book.
I will rate this book five out of five stars because the dislikes are not enough to remove one star. I would recommend it to financial advisors, managers, and anyone interested in making prudent financial decisions.
