First sentence: First Paragraph from Preface: You have in your hands what an Amazon.com reviewer says is “the world’s best retirement book.” Although it was turned down by over thirty-five publishers, this book has now sold over 100,000 copies. Type “retirement” into Amazon.com’s search feature and the number one listing overall is How to Retire Happy, Wild and Free — out of over 175,000 retirement books listed! This is a result of the word-of-mouth advertising that this book has generated.

With a focus on the non-financial aspects of retirement, How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free by Ernie J. Zelinski explores the myriad choices and decisions we are all confronted with in living out our retirement lives.

Easy to read and well laid out, this non-financial retirement book emphasizes preparing for retirement long before you retire. How to Retire Happy is a provocative, entertaining, down-to-earth, and tremendously inspiring book that will help you get more joy and satisfaction out of all your retirement activities.

Author and innovator Ernie J. Zelinski uses inspirational retirement quotes and even a retirement poem to guide you to:

  • Gain courage to take early retirement; in fact, the earlier the better.
  • Put money in proper perspective so that you don’t need a million dollars to retire.
  • Generate purpose in your retirement life with meaningful creative pursuits.
  • Follow your dreams instead of someone else’s.
  • Take charge of your mental, physical, and spiritual health.
  • Better envision your retirement goals — including where you want to retire.
  • Above all, make your retirement years the best time of your life.
