"Reconfigurement" written by E. Alan Fleischauer offers a perspective, on preparing for retirement. The book explores the discussed aspects of retirement combining tactics with the emotional and psychological elements of this important stage, in life. Fleischauer goes beyond goal setting; he highlights the value of reshaping one's life to create a future.

Throughout the book, the author’s extensive experience as a financial advisor shines through, particularly when he points out the contrast between reality and tradition. He highlights how Americans are living longer nowadays, with 30 years added to the average lifespan in just the past decade alone. Fleischauer convincingly argues that traditional retirement planning methods are no longer adequate in today’s context, suggesting that concentrating on "accumulation and prudent management of assets" falls short for retirees.

One notable aspect of "Reconfigurement" is its approach, catering to both creative thinking and ensuring that readers are not only armed with financial knowledge but also possess the mindset necessary to navigate retirement successfully. Fleischauer stresses the importance of planning—"Reconfigurement financial planning is about reconfiguring your life at any stage and planning ahead. I repeat, planning ahead." This advice is often underestimated until it becomes urgent.

The book has been meticulously edited, devoid of any typos or grammar mistakes, making it a polished and professional read. The author’s clear and concise writing style reflects the expertise of both himself and his editor, Melanie Martin. As Fleischauer himself admits, the assistance from his editor has ensured that the book is not only informative but also captivating despite the dry subject matter.

Fleischauer’s distinctive storytelling prowess stands out, with anecdotes like the farmer’s story from Afghanistan adding richness and relatability to the technical content. This blend of wisdom, practicality, and humor sets "Reconfigurement" apart in the realm of financial planning.

Overall, "Reconfigurement" is a must-read for anyone approaching retirement or contemplating their long-term career and life path. It serves as a guide that not only equips you financially but also mentally for what lies ahead. I would confidently give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars due to its thoroughness, engaging storytelling, and flawless editing. Whether you're an expert or an individual looking to secure your future, this book provides insights that are both actionable and motivational.
