Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
In the United States, the average retirement age for men is 65, while that of women is 63. In the usual way of thinking, when you retire, you stop working and depend on your pension or any conventional retirement plan to live out the rest of your life. Unfortunately, the pension schemes no longer work as they used to. Therefore, there must be another way to ensure you keep earning even after retirement. This is where "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer comes in. The author shares ways to plan for life after retirement without depending on conventional retirement plans that almost do not work.
Reading this book felt like attending a TEDx event, where the author delivered a keynote address on life after retirement. I could feel his gesticulations and body language in the way he wrote. His writing was simple and easy to understand, and he used a conversational style to convey his message.
The author took two unique approaches to distinguishing the book from others in the same category. First, he encouraged readers not to stay glued to any part of the book they didn't find exciting. This was one of the many ways he did it: "On the other hand, if you don't have any concerns or expectations about retirement then you can skip to the next chapter." He made several of these offers at different points in the book. Of course, I couldn't take any of the offers, as I needed to read everything he wrote. The author used reverse psychology here. Secondly, he inserted jokes intermittently to break the ice at several points in the book. I didn't like that some of the jokes interrupted the flow at some points. However, it was a good idea to include them.
I liked the author's referencing style. He used the page footers to present the sources of the works he cited on that particular page, including the jokes. That way, readers would immediately see the sources of the works cited on the page before moving to the next one.
Apart from the little interruption of reading flow by some of the jokes, I disliked nothing else about the book. It was professionally edited, so I'd rate it five out of five stars. This book would benefit anyone interested in having a retirement plan that would help them earn continually after retirement.
