Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Retirement
Christopher Borman · 2009
54/100
👎 Skip It
Borman leans into the psychology of retiring — resilience, humor, staying connected — backed by real interviews with retirees rather than just theory, which is a nice change of pace from spreadsheet-heavy guides. At least one reader found it thinner on concrete planning than expected, more a collection of experiences than a how-to. A decent companion read once the finances are already handled.
