Retirement: Different by Design

Rick Steiner Ph.D. · 2015
58/100
👎 Skip It

Steiner's six 'building blocks' — health, money, purpose, family, legacy — take a refreshingly whole-person view of retirement instead of just running the numbers. Covering six domains means none of them get deep treatment, including the money side many readers actually need the most help with. A good framework for reflection, best paired with something more detailed on the finances.
