Everyone wants to live a long time, but no one wants to grow old. Zen and the Art of Retirement was written by a retired man, for retired men. Applying humor to his personal retirement experiences, Dr. Louis Gonzales challenges male assumptions about aging and retirement through integrating his streetwise version of Zen Buddhism with a frugal philosophy for living an untroubled retirement lifestyle. With his tongue in cheek and plain-speaking manner, Dr. Gonzales demonstrates that an active and satisfying retirement goes beyond having sufficient financial resources and that retirement can really be the beginning of renewed life, not the end. Zen and the Art of Retirement provokes the inner realization of the truth and demonstrates that this new stage of life now has only two measurements of time: Now and the rest of your life. Through the integration of Zen philosophy and over 100 tips for living a frugal lifestyle, Dr. Gonzales lays out a roadmap for reawakening a man's drive to begin implementing healthier (and natural) preventive measures that can generate a more positive attitude, prolong youth, while still enjoying life on a limited income. In Zen and the Art of Retirement you will discover: - How to lay a solid foundation for retiring happy. - How to redefine yourself. - The art of letting go. - How to live retirement life with purpose. - That less is more. - How to live a frugalista lifestyle and have fun with it. - Over one hundred frugal tips for surviving in tough economic times. How are you using your time? What do you want to do next? What are you willing to commit to for the rest of your life? If you still haven't found the answers, this book is for you.
