The Globe-Trotting Golfer's Guide to Retirement, (Paperback)

Presented in clear, entertaining prose, this practical guide begins with a compelling case for retiring early and planning well. D'Antoni goes way beyond financial advice and steers his readers away from common errors (several of which he made himself). In a tone reminiscent of a conversation with a close friend, D'Antoni gives well-organized tips on everything from maintaining health and marital harmony during this major life transition to preventing invasions of houseguests who overstay their welcome. The second half of the book offers equally helpful tips for enjoying two activities D'Antoni considers reason enough in themselves to retire: golf and travel. But the book is organized so well that non-golfing stay-at-homes will find plenty in it for them. Readers needn't be on the brink of retirement. Anyone over 40 would benefit from this savvy volume. In fact, it would make an excellent present for a recent graduate embarked on his or her first "real" job.
