Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer is a highly informative, insightful, and interesting financial book. The writer of the book has been a financial adviser for more than twenty years. Each of the thirteen chapters in this book clearly outlines all the steps necessary to help you on your journey to reconfigurement. This is well reflected in the book's title. The writer did a great job of conveying the content of the book by choosing this title. Alan outlines how managing money, setting investment goals, budgeting, and choosing careers can all be very useful for your future. In short, this book is written to encourage people to plan for the future, especially those over the age of fifty.
As I was reading this book, I began thinking about my future. I began to understand the importance of improving my life through travelling, exercising, healthy eating, and recreational activities. The writer puts great emphasis on such actions. People who perform these good actions in the course of their lives will, in turn, experience a great deal of satisfaction in old age. Conversely, people who perform bad actions in the course of their lives will, in turn, experience sadness in old age.
The topics covered in the book are complex, but the writer himself is accessible to us readers merely by his usage of words. Even more, he admits that his favourite word is "free." Alan coped well with the complex topics covered in this book, and his word choice added to the beauty of the book. It's admirable how the writer wrote this book. I admire how the wise words of the book are interspersed with short stories and jokes, which piqued my interest in the topics covered. A smile here and there added to the reading experience. I especially liked the short, insightful story of a humble but wise farmer who resided in rural Afghanistan. The moral of the story is that what isn't good isn't necessarily bad. Nothing is truly black or white. I was inexplicably awestruck by this story.
Although the book is informative, not all the information is relevant to everyone because it was written with a focus on America. It's not easy to understand some of the topics discussed because the intended readers are Americans. It is, therefore, not possible to extrapolate these topics to other countries. I found it hard to relate to the 401(k) plan and such things. I feel the writer could greatly broaden the scope of his work to also help readers in other countries. But there is one per contra. The per contra is that the writer resides and publishes in the country. Understandably, the main market is those who reside in America. Also, the writer is fully aware of the fact that the information isn't relevant to everyone, as he encourages us, the readers, to consult with our favourite financial adviser to formulate a perfect plan.
I happily give this book 5 out of 5 stars. The book is well written and well edited. I found no grammatical errors. The book inculcates the value of money through the encouragement of future planning and most definitely serves as a good motivator to embark on the challenging yet worthwhile journey to reconfigure your life.
I would suggest this empowering book to people who are interested in finance. The book is written to encourage people to plan for the future, especially people over fifty years old. However, I would suggest this book to people of all ages. As I feel reconfiguration is possible at any age, as the adage says, with age comes wisdom.
A big thank you to the writer, E. Alan Fleischauer, for this empowering book.
