Customer Reviews

So, good...really fills a need and a niche...for seniors and older adults

It is clear that Allyn Freeman addresses and fills a need, for any adult (perhaps not only seniors) who wants to re-enter the workplace and could use some honest, practical, researched and informed guidance and knowledge about what it would take to re-enter the workplace or change one's field. Many people I work with who may truly want to find meaningful work, who still want to be of service in some way, who may need to make a change in career or job, are older now and who have certain beliefs that may prevent them from trying to find work would, in my humble opinion, benefit greatly from this thoughtfully written book. I plan to highly recommend it to my clients addressing these concerns. Joan Fenold, LMFT, San Francisco, CA

Worth the Investment

They say that if a self-help book provides just one good idea, then it's worth the investment in time and money. This book gave me a dozen ideas along with some suggestions on how to implement them. Citing experts, the authors temper a pure didactic approach with real life retirement war stories told by real people doing real stuff. Written in simple language, I found the book to be thought provoking and accessible. If you are looking for ways to make your retirement years something other than working on your back-swing, you should buy this book.

Practical advice

I found this book very helpful and full of practical advice on how to re-enter the workforce in a different arena. Well-written and insightful.
