Summary: "Where to Go from Here" --- a great read
Review: Since my "official" retirement from the university 3 years ago I have been confronting many of the questions raised by James Birren in "Where to Go from Here ?" Although his questions are posed more to those around 50 years who are entering the final third or so of their lifespan, they are even more relevant to those who are either recently retired or in imminent "danger" of such a radical change in their life status. Questions such as "Where have I been, How did I get here, Toward what am I headed ?" lead to the ultimate question --- "How would you live your life if you were truly free ?" Along the way to answering this final question, Birren provides a host of useful initially probing questions and various maneuvers, such as constructing "My Lifeline" and "My Life Portfolio" which aid in the confrontation with this final challenge for the remainder of one's life. While many of the questions raised are of the "Yes, of course, what could be more obvious ?" type, they are the very questions that do not occur to many of us without prompting from someone like Birren. It is a book which can be read several times over to gain its full import for one's remaining years.
