E. Alan Fleischauer, a financial advisor and retirement planner, wrote the book "Reconfigurement: Reconfiguring Your Life at Any Stage and Planning Ahead" as a resource for retirement planning. The formula for retirement planning that the author proposes under the heading of "Reconfigurement financial planning" takes into account both left and right brain functions. The author offers advice, tactics, and resources in the book to help readers plan for a happy retirement. Topics covered in the book vary from investing to health insurance.
The book contains info that has been thoroughly researched and is presented in a visually appealing manner. The author's favorite chapter, which discusses choosing an ideal career that complements one's identity type, uses true experiences as examples. The author suggests free websites that do identity checks and provides a synopsis of each site. The book's warm and understandable language makes it approachable for readers.
No typos or grammatical errors can be found anywhere in the book, which is a sign of professional editing. The book may have been more engaging and approachable due to the author's prior expertise writing fiction. The reviewer gives the book four out of four stars since it can amuse and instruct the reader.
The need of planning is emphasized in the book, and the author offers practical retirement planning ideas. Important subjects like choose a career, health insurance, long-term care, work benefits, retirement plans, and social security are all covered by the author. The author employs simple language and decodes technical terms before presenting information about the subject, making the book simple to read.
The author encourages readers to take personality tests, making it a useful tool for self-evaluation and self-discovery. The reviewer discovered that the book's humor and informal language were overused and annoying. Despite retirement being a universal concept, the book also primarily focuses on Americans, limiting its potential readership.
In conclusion, "Reconfigurement: Reconfiguring Your Life at Any Stage and Planning Ahead" is an instructive, well-written book that offers practical retirement planning techniques. Readers find it approachable because of the author's welcoming and simple style, and the personality tests are a useful tool for self-evaluation and self-discovery. However, the book primarily focuses on Americans, which restricts its readership potential, and the book's overt humor and informal language may be off-putting to some readers. I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
