Patricia Flury Releases SO YOU WANT TO RETIRE

So You Want to Retire is a must-read guide for retirees, people who are about to retire or contemplating retirement soon. It tackles the nonfinancial aspects of retirement, an often overlooked subject in retirement literature. It is also a good read for anyone who has a loved one struggling with the emotional impact of retirement. The book can help both the retiree and the people around him or her to understand life when "every day is Saturday."

The author aims to instill purpose, meaning, joy, and good health to retirees with practical advice and compassion culled from her years as a healthcare executive. Having served as the Chief Operating Officer of one of the country's largest public healthcare systems, Flury is a wellspring of firsthand insights on the social plight of numerous retirees. Her book is an important addition to the library of a company's HR department.

Flury starts with the practical advice that retirees should expect to live longer than they think. This insight sets the tone for her advice and practical tips, among others:

• How to remain productive
• How to stay active
• How to feel and be useful
• The upside of downsizing
• Practical tips on using social security
• Best (and worst) places for retirees
• Healthcare tips
• Dealing with depression

So You Want to Retire also reserves a whole section on the factors that can ruin retirement. These include: 1) providing support to adult children; 2) runaway debt; and 3) lack of understanding of inflation. Each of these factors is expounded with details why they can be deadly for retirees.

The book is, of course, best for readers who are yet to retire, as it is always better to plan ahead. For retirees, it is never too late to learn new things, especially if the book has plenty of practical advice on the social aspects of retirement.
