I found this book while learning how to use my library’s electronic checkout system.
Amazon.com: Retire Right: 8 Scientifically Proven Traits You Need for a Happy, Fulfilling Retirement: M.D., Frederick T. Fraunfelder, Jr., M.D., James H. Gilbaugh: Books
“Retire Right” was released on May 14, written by two doctors, one an ophthalmologist and the other a urologist. I’ve come across this before recently that when a book is leased in paperback, the title is sometimes changed. Looks like this is the same as “Retirement RX” published last year. Amazon is calling “Retire Right” the paperback edition; blurb looks identical. It apparently emphasizes the non-financial aspects of living in retirement.
These are their topics:
plan ahead
maintain a positive attitude
accept change
lean on their support network
have a sense of purpose
keep a healthy lifestyle
engage in leisure activities
enjoy some expression of spirituality
This is from a three star customer review of “Retirement RX.” The other 11 reviews are 5 stars.
Amazon.com: Retirement RX: The Retirement Docs' Proven Prescription for Living a Happy, Fulfilling Rest ofYour Life: M.D., Frederick T. Fraunfelder, Jr., M.D., James H. Gilbaugh: Books
I saw an excellent review of it on a retirement blog site, but “Retirement RX” and its authors did not come up in a search here. Has anyone read it? Any thoughts?

...But they're also getting a highly biased sample. They're not getting people who avoid care or simply don't need any. They're getting responses from people who can afford to see a specialist and who most likely have bought into mainstream medical values....
