L'Art de profiter de sa retraite

FROM PREFACE OF BOOK: Retirement can be the best time of our lives. Unfortunately, the first part of many people's lives is wasted on boring work and the last part is wasted on a boring retirement. The good news, however, is that many more people enjoy retirement than those who don't. This book came about by accident. I was in the process of writing a new edition of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Joy-Not-Working-Unemployed-Overworked/dp/1580085520/"><i>The Joy of Not Working:</i></a> A book for the Retired, Unemployed, and Overworked, as well as the original editon of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/How-Retire-Happy-Wild-Free/dp/096941949X/"><i>How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free </i></a> when I thought about Bob Nelson's bestselling 1001 Ways books. I wondered why no other author had written a book on retirement similar in approach to Nelson's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/1001-Ways-Reward-Employees-Nelson/dp/156305339X"><i>1001 Ways to Reward Employees</i></a>. There and then, I decided that I would be the one to write it. First, the challenge was to generate 1001 ways how people could enhance their retirement. After about four weeks of working on this as a side project, I was convinced that creating 1001 ways was easily within my reach. The second challenge was to provide interesting examples of retirees who are actually doing most of these things. This also ended up being a lot less difficult than I figured that it would be. In fact, I came up with more good examples than I needed for a book of a reasonabe size. I have used the most interesting cases of people who are enjoying their retirement and what they are doing with their time. Some of the examples come from individuals who have written to me after reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Joy-Not-Working-Unemployed-Overworked/dp/1580085520/"><i>The Joy of Not Working</i></a>; others come from telephone and in-person interviews that I have conducted with retirees; and still others come from people who have been featured on websites or in newspaper stories. Clearly, retirement can be a challenging life transition, either financially or personally. Many people have lots of time on their hands, but way too little money. Others have lots of <a href="http://www.the-money-cafe.com">money</a>, but don't know what to do with their time. In this regard, Samuel Johnson declared, "Money and time are the heaviest burdens of life and the unhappiest of all mortals are those who have more of either than they know
