Review Reading the essays in editor Mark Evan Chimsky's anthology 65 Things to Do When You Retire is like having your own brainstorming session with 65 highly knowledgeable men and women of a certain age and many different walks of life. The collection is full of candor, humor and wisdom.

Others present step-by-step strategies for putting together a retirement game plan that will suit your temperament, interests and budget. --The Wall Street Journal From the Back Cover "Reading the essays in editor Mark Evan Chimsky's anthology "65 Things to Do When You Retire" is like having your own brainstorming session with 65 highly knowledgeable men and women of a certain age and many different walks of life.
