Synopsis

The central question of every hard-working person's career is how to work less hard while still being able to buy a bottle of ninety-five-dollar Borolo without trembling. This is as true at age thirty as it is at more advanced ages. But by age forty, most of us are already thinking of exit strategies that will place us firmly off the grid for good. The question, then, is simple: How to retire while continuing to enjoy all the best things that haute-bourgeois life has to offer? The answer has been under our noses all along: Retire while still working! This might seem like a difficult proposition, but close examination of the concept reveals that there are many among us who have been exploring this boundary betwen a nice nap and the long sleep for quite some time. They are called "Senior Management," and we have a lot to learn from them.

Goodreads review by Todd on June 08, 2015

At some point in my career (it might have been yesterday, a Sunday, as I read this book and contemplated my workaday status), I realized that I was never going to invent flubber, direct "The Dark Knight", or craft a clever and historically-lauded Wall Street bailout plan, all of these having been do......more

Goodreads review by Donald on June 28, 2010

Casting Alan Sklar as the narrator for this book is absolute genius. His psuedo-sarcastic tone of voice is such a snappy addition to the material that I would not doubt it if someone told me it was written specifically for him to read instead of the other way around. That being said, I enjoyed this t......more
