Written by John Nelson

TALK ABOUT A GOLDEN PARACHUTE! For more than 35 years, What Color is Your Parachute? has helped millions of job-hunters find rewarding careers. Now that trusted source, recognized and adored the world over, soars into the next stage of life with What Color is Your Parachute? For Retirement. In this essential retirement planning guide, Richard N. Bolles and retirement expert John E. Nelson present a balanced approach to retirement well-being and, in true Parachute form, deliver a guide that brightly encompasses all that makes life worth living. Readers are reminded that retirement today is not about retiring from something, it's about retiring to something. It's an opportunity to explore all that life has to offer, and a freedom to create the life we want
to live.

Harnessing a seize-the-day energy, What Color is Your Parachute? For Retirement tackles readiness in terms of money, health, and happiness, using six scientific fields of study. In fact, this highly effective What Color is Your Parachute? For Retirement model is already being used for educational programs covering millions of employees in government, corporate, and nonprofit settings, like AARP, the Financial Planning Association, and the Retirement Readiness Project of the federal government.

A variety of exercises help form the framework for an ideal retirement--a kind of blueprint for a very personal and very fulfilling "Retirement Well-Being"--so that every important element to consider is on a single sheet of paper, and perfectly tailored to meet individual needs. Whether one is just starting a career or already retired, this book helps provide the foundation on which to build a future without a cattle-chute view of when and how one must retire. Instead, readers learn how to align their retirement planning with their own personal strengths, how to increase their chances of being healthy and vital as they age, and how to create a retirement that's not only prosperous, but engaging and meaningful too.
