It's easy to approach the later phases of your career with an All-or-Nothing mindset. Go all-in and work full-time longer? Retire and go off to have fun 24/7? Those options are fine for many people. But some people today are pursuing a customized hybrid version, keeping some work in the mix on their own terms, while preserving the freedom and flexibility retirement offers. It offers many benefits. Richard Eisenberg joins us today to share his experiences and insights from his version of retirement which he calls Unretirement. It may inspire you to create your own version of unretirement.

Here’s what readers are saying:

“Win The Retirement Game is the next best thing to having your own personal retirement coach."

“I wish I had this book when I retired.”

“Definitely the best book I've read on the non-financial aspects of retirement. The storytelling format makes it fun to read, and the lessons woven into the story are backed up by tons of references. The Resources section at the end of the book was super helpful also. At age 64 this book was just what I needed.”

“A wonderful guide for the soon to be or recently retired…”

“This book demystifies retirement and deepens our understanding of what it takes to enjoy that phase of life. Read it before you embark on the retirement journey and define what it means to you. It is not a destination!”

“This is a great gift for anyone anticipating retirement years or already in the thick of it.”
