Why read it?

2 authors picked What the Happiest Retirees Know as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Since I write books about retirement, I love to read what others have written. Wes Moss’s book is fun, easy to read, helpful for retirees, and his research describes the ten most important habits for a “healthy, secure, and joyful life.”

My favorite coffee mug has this wonderful advice: “Live a Life You Don’t Need a Vacation From.” I find that Wes Moss’s book closely aligns with my own beliefs about achieving a satisfying, rewarding, and healthy retirement, and it provides a concrete framework to get there.

This gem of a book translates the results of Wes Moss’s survey of more than 2,000 happy retirees into ten actionable habits that help you achieve your best “second act.” I love the author’s easy, breezy writing style. Find out how many “core pursuits” are needed to make you a happier retiree!
