New Book Helps Make Baby Boomers' Retirement Years The Best of Their Lives
"The Best of Our Lives" by John and Trisha Parker provides baby boomers with the newest, most essential and most complete information on retirement.


MINNEAPOLIS, MN, December 31, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As with any big life transition, retirement can leave many people with lots of questions. How do I manage my money, how do I stay fit, and perhaps the most daunting, what do I do with all my time? One couple, John and Trisha Parker, have answered these questions in their new book "The Best of Our Lives: Sharing the Secrets of a Healthy and Happy Retired Life" (Langdon Street Press, ISBN 978-1-934938-49-2, February 2010, $17.95). A workbook and guidebook to retirement, "The Best of Our Lives" relays the later-in-life lessons the Parkers have learned as they embark on their own retirement adventure.

By combining expert advice, current research and their own personal insights, the Parkers have created a book that is both personal and credible. Written in a conversational style, "The Best of Our Lives" covers such topics as managing retirement finances, attaining mental and physical health, planning budget travel, starting second careers, and making a home safe for the retirement years. Several helpful original checklists and forms are included to assist in making an informed and painless transition to retired life.

"An extremely well-written, understandable, and comprehensive book on organizing and managing your retired life in an increasingly complicated world. The practical advice on mental and physical fitness, as well as nutrition, makes this an essential reference book for today's seniors.

- Herbert M. Schub, MD
Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine

"I've had the good fortune to travel with the Parkers who are, in the classic formulation, boon companions. The travel chapter alone is so laden with useful (and often overlooked) money-saving tips, a single trip would likely save many times the cost of the book. I make this recommendation from a background of a quarter-century of ownership of a chain of Chicago travel agencies and as travel editor for ABC Radio, San Francisco. The Parkers know how to enjoy life!"
