THE NUMBER A Completely Different Way To Think About the Rest of Your Life

How much money will you need for a comfortable retirement? That dollar figure is the "number" of the title. Lee Eisenberg won't tell you how to calculate it or how to save it; his goal is to get you thinking long-term. With a sense of humor Brian Keeler narrates Eisenberg's collection of anecdotes -- tales of retiree bikers and his own late-career job shift, which led him to the helm of Land's End. Those anecdotes come with a point of view: Eisenberg advocates downshifting and scaling back, and isn't above shaking listeners up. If you haven't thought much about retirement or are looking to downshift, his writing will start you thinking. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 07]
