This book was chosen for my monthly Bible study group. In a nutshell, the author encourages readers to let go of the rigid, achievement-oriented mindset of the first half of life to enter a new phase in retirement. 

The book had quite a few gems of wisdom:

"Pass the lessons learned on to others - or there has been no real gift at all."

My biggest complaint with the book is the pace is slow, and it was not the easiest to comprehend.
