We all think about what it would be like not to work. We dream about what we might do if we had enough money to just do without having to report to a place or a person. While the financial pieces are important, you may not have considered the emotional aspects of retirement. Let's face it, life happens. You can make all the plans in the world, but something undoubtedly will change. Have you considered for instance how marriage, children, and other relationships will be affected once you no longer are working? What about your health? When is the right time to retire? Maybe you love what you do so much you will never retire. Beverly Mann Lessard has done the research to help you consider what many others did not consider emotionally before they retired. Still think your too young? Think again, life moves fast, and before you know it you will be asking the question...Am I emotionally ready to retire.

"Are You Emotionally Ready To Retire?" It's not a question that only Baby Boomers are asking, but also a question that all ages should be asking. What author Beverly Lessard discovered through her own experiences as well as those of the people she interviewed, was that to be happily retired required more than a party and sleeping until ten o'clock the next morning.As one man remarked, "you need to retire TO something, not FROM something".And the happiest retirees did just that. The interviews in this book include those from people who will never retire and those who will retire as soon as possible; people who were truly experiencing the golden years and those who found themselves returning to work. By reading the stories which relay the wide range of retiring experiences, people who are counting the days, weeks or even years until that magical date, will discover that if they fill their lives with all the right stuff, they too will be ready.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2018I got the Kindle version of Beverly's new book the other day and thoroughly enjoying reading it. As a matter of fact, it was hard to put down.
Beverly has an energetic writing style (like a spring mountain stream that one gets swept along in). I found it very easy to read. She doesn't drag her points out, but says what she wants and keep moving.
I found it interesting to see how she organized and incorporated all the survey and interview information she had into the book.
Beverly also shares many personal and family experiences throughout the book.
I have recently retired myself, so it was fun to read the book and get so many different perspectives to think about
