“A masterpiece and master lesson about the highs and lows of retirement!” The one book everyone needs to read regarding retirement life.” “If you’re transitioning into retirement, this is a must-read book for everyone!”
Tom Marks shares his one and only story about retirement-life in a book that has nearly 60 million retirees in the US wanting more stories from Tom. Part 1 of the book is Tom’s historical view of retirement in America and how our perceptions about seniors, the elderly, geezers, golden-agers, and retirement life are shaped by advertising agencies and the hoodie-wearing 25 year olds who are writing ad copy about 75 year olds. Tom also walks us through the makings of the first true retirement community developed by Del Webb, many of the oddities of retirement, and how researchers and marketers are grouping retirees together even though there might be a 40 year difference in their ages.
Part 2 of the book is almost a memoir of revelation and enlightenment as Tom succeeded in many aspects of life, but failed miserably in his transition into retirement. Follow along in his odyssey as he encounters the wisdom of the Buddha, Aristotle, Henry David Thoreau, and plenty of others, and learn about the Encounters of Retirement, Tom’s own philosophy that has retirees talking the world-over about his common sense and homespun advice.
Tom is the bestselling author of The Second-Best Business Book Ever Written, the #1 new business book in America which has won the Gold Medal for Best Nonfiction Book from the Nonfiction Writers Association, three International Impact Book Awards, the POTY Award, the Literary Titan Award, the Reader Views Award, and two American Book Fest Awards for best business book
