Work Less, Live More: The Way to Semi-Retirement
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
As one of the early semi-retirees profiled in the book and related to the author, it would be fair to suspect my recommendations here, but I can assure you that Bob has written a complete and concise book addressing the issues to be faced if you wish to break out of the day to day grind of the modern day work force. It may seem like I would be automatically privy to all of this information by virtue of my relation, but the plain truth is that I needed this book, especially the detailed information about where to put my money to make it work the hardest for me. All of the theories and studies from the last 75 years have been boiled down to easily digested and implemented solutions, which I am now in the process of carrying out. Bob also addresses lifestyle issues that I am currently going through, and it helps to know that I am not unique in the problems I am facing regarding constructive use of my time and mind. This information alone is important to all retirees, early or not. It is critical to all humans that we have something stimulating to do every day to avoid sliding into early dementia and depression. Bob covers these subjects and more from an experienced point of view. (This is not to infer that he suffers from dementia, at least not the type brought on by early retirement!)
Bottom line is that for the price of 3 Happy Meals you can set an incredible foundation for the rest of your life, no matter when you actually leave the work force.

The Leisure Economy: How Changing Demographics, Economics, and Generational Attitudes Will Reshape Our Lives and Our Industries Review

The Leisure Economy: How Changing Demographics, Economics, and Generational Attitudes Will Reshape Our Lives and Our Industries

The Leisure Economy by Linda Nazareth is a well- researched, on-target account of the movement away from the "Time Crunch Economy" to the "Leisure Economy." As this respected economist points out, work/life balance is not just a fad created by young people to drive older professionals crazy. It's a sane response to a society which has made a virtue of work addiction and is re-calibrating itself to the mindset of "there's more to life than work."
Baby Boomers pondering retirement, Gen Xers with families and mortgages, and Gen Yers new to the workplace will discover valuable insights to guide their career-and-life choices. So will organizations struggling to attract and retain the best talent of every age. Ms. Nazareth offers examples of individuals who have re-invented their working lives and industries who offer employees opportunities to do the same as this movement gains momentum.
The Leisure Economy is a significant contribution to the literature of generational diversity and changing values in the workplace. And, equally important, it is creatively written and highly entertaining.

For the past three decades, we have been steadily creating an extreme 'time-crunch economy' that has affected jobs, portfolios, businesses and lives. But the 'time-crunch economy' is turning into 'the leisure economy' and it will mean wrenching adjustments for our lives and institutions. Everyone from consumers, investors, businesses, and policy-makers will need to understand the changes afoot.
The Leisure Economy posits profound economic changes in North America due to both the retirement of the baby boomers and the attitudes of ascendant generations X and Y. Looking at trends in demographics, economics and generational change, this book looks at how to stay ahead of the leisure economy and predicts who will be the winners and losers in the seismic shift ahead.
