Planning for retirement? How should we go about it? If the latter question has been troubling you, worry no more. E. Alan Fleischauer will take you through a step-by-step process of doing just that. Reconfigurement details a new retirement strategy that extends beyond traditional financial plans. It fills the gap in place by combining right-brain and left-brain solutions to provide a practical solution. The book discusses: safeguarding income, career assessments, life protection (life insurance), investment, and retirement plans, among other things.

The positive aspects of this book are: first, the book teaches us how to better plan for the future. This, I believe, is very important to have a comfortable life. Second, the author utilized humor to ensure the book was enjoyable. Third, Alan also used simple language and illustrations, which made it easy to understand much of what was discussed in the chapters.

Fourth, the book contains a discussion on managing finances and investments, which I particularly loved. The chapter on managing finances especially made it clear just how important budgeting is. A fact I intend to implement in my life henceforth. Last, the author also recommends books to read on part-time jobs and retirement planning. The recommendations of books on part-time jobs (and remote work) are especially important considering the increased number of con artists ready to scam people with fake online jobs. The books recommended will also prove helpful for further reading on retirement planning.

The only negative aspect I noted was that the author took a bit too long to get to the point in some chapters. This may be attributed to the lengthy introductions sometimes used for the topics. I do, however, understand that this may have been due to the author's wanting to emphasize the importance of some aspects as well as link them to reconfigurement.

The book seems to be professionally edited; the editing was so meticulous that I did not find any errors. I, hence, find no reason to give a rating lower than 4 out of 4 stars.

I would recommend this book to people interested in learning how to plan for their future. Despite the author's suggestion that this book would best suit people aged fifty to sixty years, I believe this book would be suitable for people aged twenty onwards. This is because I feel that people should start planning for their future as early as possible. It should also be noted that the author recommends that people should start financial planning by age 30.
