Thrive in  Retirement:  Simple Secrets for Being Happy for the Rest of Your Life

By Eric Thurman

I jumped at the chance to review this book published by WaterbrookMultnomah, because I am in the target audience.  It was written in a very folksy, conversational style that makes you feel like you are getting advice from a slightly-older friend over coffee.

Eric does offer good advice centering around 3 key words:  purpose, pleasure and peace.  He ties those into the main aspects of life including mind, body, soul, relationships, and finances.  He encourages readers to do some important soul-searching and decide what actions they should take in order to make the most of their golden years.

I found this book to be practical with sections in the appendix to help readers plan well for their death.  Although this sounds morbid, having a plan alleviates much stress for the individual and his or her family.  I highly recommend this book.  I received a free copy from the publisher and this is my honest opinion.
