Your comments all appear to support TalkHost in that the author doesn't seem to have the attributes of most happy people, does he?
Just picked up another from the library called "How to Retire Happy" by Stan Hinden. The copy I have was printed in 2006. I think I have seen his books reviewed before, maybe in the Sunday paper, maybe even read it before, who knows. Per the Table of Contents, appears to hit the financial planning end more heavily, but of course, being financially stable is a big part of retirement for most of us. So - we'll see what I take from this one.

Hi Ohiogirl,
I am going to read it, too. But I am glad I found that copy on my bookshelf from when I bought it and did not get around to reading it. Sure would not want to have bought it twice.
I was recently in a conversation about whether or not we want to know anything about the author when we read a book. I said that I always look at the author's picture and info if it is in the book. Others said they did not. I guess this is a case of too much information about the author. So maybe I will pretend that he was having a bad day...don't we all sometimes. But hey, manners are not that hard.
