Why read it?
1 author picked What Retirees Want as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I like authors who back up statements with research. Ken Dychtwald, CEO of Age Wave, has been studying the Boomer generation for more than three decades, and uses his research to not only demonstrate how this generation has transformed retirement, but also provides important insights for those who work with, sell to, or are Boomers themselves. Virtually every page has a nugget of useful and applicable information.
From Jan's list on The best comprehensive retirement books that will make you successful and happy.
