How the 25th Anniversary Edition of HTRHW&F Has Been Modified to Make It a More Remarkable Book:

• There are 37 new photos and diagrams in the new edition. As the old adage explains, "A picture is worth 1,000 words."
• There are many more engaging stories about retirees throughout the book. Mega bestselling author John C. Maxwell, whose books have sold over 20 million copies, recently proclaimed: "Statistics don't inspire people to do great things. Stories do!"
• In Chapter 1 (Thank Heaven for Retirement), the compelling concept of The EZ Rule of Life has been introduced to help people abolish boredom when they retire. Updated content and 3 new photos also enhance this chapter.
• Chapter 2 (Retirement: A Time to Become Much More than You Have Ever Been) has been modified with updated content and includes more lists and 7 new photos.
• Chapter 3 (So Many Worlds, So Much to Do!) has been enhanced, particularly with the new topic, "Be Leonardo da Vinci or Albert Einstein When Using The Get-a-Life Tree." Included are two emails from readers, including one with a photo of Ian Swales, a former British Member of Parliament, about how The Get-a-Life Tree inspired him to enter politics after he retired.
• Chapter 4 (Take Special Care of Yourself -- Because No One Else Will!) has been modified the least but it has some new content in addition to a new photo.
• In Chapter 5 (Experience Lifelong Learning), the author's powerful personal adage, "Be a LEARNER First, become a MASTER Second, and remain a STUDENT Forever," lays the foundation for the importance of lifelong learning in retirement. This chapter's content contains mainly new material including 2 photos relating to the benefits of joining AARP, not to mention why 3D Vision decreases your chances of having a happy retirement -- and why 3C Vision increases your chances of having a happy retirement.
• Chapter 6 (Your Wealth Is Where Your Friends Are) has some new inspirational content, including Top 10 Reasons Never to Lend Money to Friends, in addition to 5 new photos.
• Chapter 7 (Travel for Fun, Adventure, and More) has been completely rewritten and includes fascinating stories about retirees enjoying adventure travel along with 3 new photos.
• Chapter 8 (Relocate to Where Retirement Living Is Best) has been completely rewritten and includes the latest rankings of the best places for retirees to live in the US according to Kiplinger, Inside Monkey, US News, and AARP Magazine.
• Chapter 9 (Happiness Doesn't Care How You Get There) is now the most important chapter in the book. Its content has changed by 80 percent with the emphasis on why mattering matters in retirement -- and how retirees can matter without having to be Mother Teresa. This chapter has other engaging new content such as the topic How to Always Get What You Want as well as 13 new photos.
