Review of Reconfigurement
[Following is a volunteer review of "Reconfigurement" by E. Alan Fleischauer.]
“Reconfigurement: Reconfiguring Your Life at Any Stage and Planning Ahead” by E. Alan Fleischauer is a comprehensive guide aimed at helping readers make informed financial decisions, particularly as they approach retirement. The book is divided into 13 chapters, each tackling different aspects of retirement planning, from financial instruments like mutual funds and insurance policies to social security benefits and estate planning. Fleischauer, with over 20 years of experience as a financial consultant, draws on his extensive knowledge to provide readers with a roadmap to navigate the complexities of retirement in today's world, where people are living longer and need to plan more carefully for their later years.
The book delves deeply into the realities of retirement planning, challenging traditional approaches that may no longer be adequate given increased life expectancies. Fleischauer offers readers practical advice on supplementing income during retirement, including working beyond the conventional retirement age and utilizing various financial products. Additionally, the book provides self-assessment tools to help readers better understand their career goals and retirement needs, making it a financial guide and a resource for personal reflection and planning.
I particularly enjoyed how the author used humor and anecdotes throughout the book to keep readers engaged. The stories and jokes added a personal touch, making the complex subject matter more relatable and easier to understand. Including practical examples and statistics also helped solidify the author's points, making the advice feel grounded in real-world experience. I appreciated that the book encouraged readers to take an active role in their retirement planning, offering tools and resources to help them along the way.
One area where I felt the book could have been improved was in its focus on the American context, which may limit its applicability to readers in other countries. However, this does not detract from the book's overall value, as the principles of financial planning and retirement preparation are universally relevant. The occasional use of economic jargon might be challenging for some readers, but the author's clear explanations and the book's overall accessibility help to mitigate this issue.
In terms of editing, “Reconfigurement” was flawlessly executed. I found no errors in the text, which indicates that the book was expertly polished before publication. Given the quality of the content and the excellent presentation, I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. It is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to plan their financial future, particularly those nearing retirement or considering a career change. I highly recommend it to economic students, business consultants, and anyone seeking to secure a more stable and fulfilling life after retirement.
