"Sage" Advice for Retirees

I'm nearly of retirement age and I found many reasons to enjoy When Professional Women Retire..... The language and rich vocabulary bring the ideas of this book to life. It is full of creative and practical thoughts about living "the good life" in our retirement years. The final chapter is particularly good reading. The authors' observations about corporate power and the appeal of the latest fads speak to the need for retired women and men to play an important role as keepers of the values that have made our civilization strong. With many in the younger generation focused primarily on money, it's important to hear voices who urge a reevaluation of what we are all about. Wiehl and Heffernan encourage us to strengthen our resolve to give future generations a sense of the importance of literature, history, and philosophy--those values that anchor "the good life." The recipes are an added bonus. I can already recommend the marinated halibut, creamy risotto, and spinach and avocado salad.
