Rethinking Retirement
John Piper · 2009
68/100
👎 Skip It
John Piper's short essay makes you sit with a hard question — why do we assume retirement means checking out? — using vivid stories of people who kept serving into old age. It's clear and well-crafted, but at essay length (about 30 minutes) it's more of a nudge than a full book, so if you want a plan alongside the challenge, you'll need to pair it with something else.
