E. Alan Fleischauer's book, titled Reconfigurement, takes a fresh approach to retirement planning by diverging from the common notion of separating the left and right brains. Unlike many other books, it emphasizes a concept that takes into account both aspects of the equation. With a comprehensive examination of potential pre-retirement challenges and essential preparedness, the author underscores the criticality of being well-equipped. When contemplating the timing and approach to retirement, individuals must consider multiple factors. Health-related issues can significantly impact retirement decisions, potentially leading to an earlier-than-expected retirement. It is crucial for individuals to assess insurance options that offer protection in the event of illness or incapacity during retirement, taking into account coverage duration and post-retirement longevity.

The act of abruptly quitting a job without careful preparation is common among individuals who lack passion for their work. However, the author discourages such impulsive actions and urges individuals to take a different approach. Moreover, the author emphasizes that age should never serve as a barrier to transforming and redefining one's life journey. Reading Reconfigurement provided valuable insight into the necessity of aligning personal goals to mitigate potential negative impacts and regrets during retirement.

I found great admiration for this book as it offered a comprehensive overview of the multifaceted factors influencing retirement decisions. The author also provided a nuanced perspective on the appropriate retirement age, dispelling common misconceptions and offering fresh insights. I particularly appreciated the author's emphasis on the fact that retirement does not mean complete disengagement but rather an opportunity to explore enjoyable activities or pursue less demanding yet fulfilling endeavors. To keep readers engaged throughout each chapter, the author employed an ingenious approach to incorporating jokes that added a delightful flair to the reading experience.

In all honesty, I could not find any aspects of this book that were displeasing. It proved to be an enjoyable and enlightening read, equipping me with valuable knowledge about retirement, restructuring, and preparation. Considering its overall merits, I rate Reconfigurement five out of five stars. Notably, the book was exceptionally well edited, and I didn't come across any mistakes or flaws during my reading experience.

I wholeheartedly recommend this captivating book to mature readers and those seeking guidance in retirement planning. The unique insights and engaging narrative will undoubtedly make it an enriching read.

I know that planning for retirement is an important thing to do. It’s just very uninteresting to me. I know that that is no excuse not to do it, but I just don’t want to. (Don’t tell my son.)
