Review of Reconfigurement
There are many of us who do not know what they want to do in life. It is still our habit to live our lives as if we had all the time in the world. It is impossible to predict what lies around the next corner until the very last moment. The book Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer provides insight into self-education and the importance of planning ahead. This book contains 13 chapters that cover topics such as working at work that you enjoy, career testing, social security facts, investment choices, life insurance, and having fun before retirement. This book is very valuable in that even if you are just 30 or already 40 or 50 years old, it will help you plan ahead step-by-step and recognize the difference between reality and retirement myths. This book will also give you many useful recommendations for further education and tools you can use on the Internet. Some of these tools will help you learn more about yourself as a person or help you discover your strengths, among many other things.
Even on such a significant topic, I love the way E. Alan Fleischauer uses his words. He used language that anyone could understand by simplifying complex words that are often used. However, many of us can get overwhelmed or confused by them because the meanings of some difficult financial terms are just something that some of us don’t know. And I don’t say it’s wrong to not understand them. But in this book, you could easily find your way through because all the topics and complex words were described or expressed in simple ways. The author uses small jokes that lighten the mood, and as a result, you not only learn but also have fun while reading.
I did not find any misspellings or other errors, so I would say this book is well-written. It is unfortunate that the book focuses primarily on Americans, yet I feel that the knowledge provided by E. Alan Fleischauer could be useful to non-Americans as well.
I would recommend this book to people who look forward to planning their future and would like to have a better knowledge of retirement planning and in general to mature readers. While the recommended age for reading this book is 40 - 50 years old, I personally feel that even someone in their 30s could read it. There is no set age when you should or should not start planning your future or retirement, but having some extra knowledge is always beneficial. For all these positive aspects of the book listed above, I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
