Demographic doomsayers predicted that baby boomers would bleed America dry, bankrupting Social Security and Medicare as they faded into impoverished old age. Chris Farrell argues that they are already extending their working lives with new careers, entrepreneurial ventures, and volunteer service. Unretirement not only explains this seismic change, it provides key insights and practical advice for boomers about to navigate this exciting new frontier.

Review:

“In Unretirement, Chris Farrell neatly sums up the ordeal that we are said to face . . . One reads the results of his reporting and research almost with a sense of gratitude.” ―The Wall Street Journal

“For older worers at a loss for ideas and eager to postpone the inevitable, Farrell's how-to-cope book will provide a comforting road map and set of possibilities.” ―Publishers Weekly

“Finally, an author doesn't think the Baby Boomer generation is going to bankrupt the nation . . . Farrell makes a great case for a longer working career for many people . . .What a breath of fresh air here.” ―Bookloons.com

“Carefully researched and articulately presented and backed by an abiding positive outlook . . . [Farrell’s] practical book should occupy prominent shelf space in the business collection.” ―Booklist

“Recommended for those unsure that retirement is for them.” ―Library Journal

“This book is absolutely for Boomers, it's also, surprisingly, something that Gen X'ers should check out, too. If you've already retired, are about to, or have worked all your life so you don't have to work someday, Unretirement is unmissable.” ―Peninsula Clarion
