- Latest Review: Reconfigurement by E. Alan Fleischauer
Review of Reconfigurement
Both a self-help and a financial book, Reconfiguration by E. Alan Fleischauer includes some advice on self-discovery. I say it is a self-help book because it offer's insight on the same. Like some evaluation exams that teach you more about who you are, your job options, the kinds of connections you can make with others, how you relate to people, etc. Because the author frequently discussed those who retire at 65 only to be broke or bored and without clear planning, I'll also remark that the book is about finances. He underlined the value of early retirement preparation to prevent running out of money in an emergency. Additionally, Mr. Fleischauer offered some retirement planning ideas. The time spent reading this is certainly worth it.
Theres plenty of reasons to love this book. First and foremost, Reconfigurement is a condensed, direct, and to the point book. Fleischauer avoids clumsy flowery jargon in favor of getting right to the point. The weird and intriguing concept of "reconfiguration" and the rationale reasons why the reader need this readjustment are quickly explored by the author. By the end of the first chapter, readers will be familiar with the idea and ready for the wisdom teachings that come next.
There were no issues that I considered were significant while reading the book. It's crucial to remember that the book primarily targets Americans. One will come to understand that there is no such thing as a "401k" back home (aside from existing under a different term). Additional concepts that are "special" will be immediately recognized by people who consume a lot of American media. In addition, Fleischauer wrote this book with American readers in mind. Even while the "reconfigurement" approach can be used by anybody, some non-American readers may avoid this book for the same reason.
I can't say anything bad about this book. Reading it was enjoyable. No errors occurred. It is therefore professionally edited. I rate it with 4out of 4 stars. Still on rating I would give this book a 5 out of 5 star rating I liked the book mostly because it did not used some effective vulgarity to underscore points. Younger audiences like myself are not discouraged from reading this either.
By declaring that I recommend this book to anyone who is considering their future, not just those in their forties and older, I run the danger of upsetting someone. Fleischauer recommended his book to readers who are well into their years and are thinking about getting married. This book will be a very helpful resource, even for people who are just starting out in adulthood. I'll even go so far as to recommend this book to non-Americans. Everyone is likely to be impacted by first-world problems. I found that the "reconfiguration" strategy could be easily applied by anyone, American or not.
