What happens when someone shares a story with us - a true story, a story from their heart-of-hearts?  We feel connected. We realize the commonality of our emotions. How we are, as human beings, all the same. We all falter. We all fear. We all stumble. And we can all come back stronger. Every son-of-a-gun in this book of twelve new, true stories is different, but you'll recognize each one. We've all had them in our lives, these sons-of-guns. And whether we love them or we hate them, they are our teachers. They impart some kernel of truth that we carry with us always. You may not know these people, but you will know these stories. They're about emotions we all feel - fear, anger, temptation, even those times you slap yourself on the forehead and call yourself an idiot. The circumstances may be different, but the pain, the heartache and the triumph, those remain true. While the stories in this book are real, a detail may differ here or there. In certain cases, names were changed to protect the guilty. Enjoy these stories, dammit!

<p>The typical retirement guide devotes at least half of its pages to financial questions and gives short shrift to the many other aspects of starting a new life. "DON'T RETIRE, REINVENT YOURSELF: Getting Up to Speed on a New Journey in Life" fills in the gaps. It delves into all of those other aspects of starting a new chapter in your life, including questions such as what will you do, where will you live, and what sort of legacy will you leave?A speed limit sign provides a metaphor for the book, which is broken into 55 brief chapters labeled 1 mph, 2 mph and so on. At 55 mph, the reader has been brought up to speed on how to set goals for a productive and fulfilling new life.</p>
