Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
Reconfigurment by E. Alan Fleischauer is one of the most distinct non-fiction I have read to date. As the author mentions in Chapter 1, some books are life journeys of individuals who overcame obstacles to get where they are today, and some emphasize pre-planning for retirement. As an individual in my mid-thirties, I needed a book to provide me with both perspectives. The book offers us a view of both sides.
The book begins with a convenient explanation. It gives us a clear idea of the struggle to calculate retirement. The author gives us a clear picture of why the calculation based on a retirement age of 65 will be non-practical today. He gives us a clear indicator that with technological advancements, we can ensure that people are living longer and the expenses are readily going higher. He explains the same with an example; any reader would find it eye-opening. Chapter seven, one of my favorites, talks to us about investments. There are explanations regarding mutual funds, bonds, and various others. We have read it all in multiple books, but this book is an amalgamation of different investment techniques and the ones to be selected.
There are some standout positives of the book, the conversational language being one of them. I have read many books and articles in this particular category and wonder why almost no one attempted this approach. There might be a difference of opinion on the number of times such languages or the usage of light-hearted moments or jokes be used, considering the seriousness of the topic, but I found it captivating since a linear approach could have made it another boring book.
There were no negatives in the book. However, the book lacked generality as most of the examples and details provided were suited for American citizens. The author could focus a little more on inclusivity so that the book can be used by people worldwide.
The book has been professionally edited. However, using Wikipedia as a source is not a great idea. The book does not contain any spelling mistakes, and there is no use of profanity. I will give the book 4 out of 4 stars. The book is a good read with valuable information, and I hope the author will address the general suggestions in future publishing. The book is suitable for all types of personnel who want to plan not only their retirement but also want tips regarding investments, who are looking for a book on retirement planning but also need an easy read.
