Ready to pursue the rest of your life? Get going with Work Less, Live More.

Finalist for The Publishers Marketing Associations Benjamin Franklin Award

Professionally, you're experiencing the success that years of hard work brings -- but the long hours are taking their toll and you're burning out fast.

Fortunately, there is an alternative to the grind: Semi-retirement. Work fewer hours, realize your goals and dreams, spend time with your loved ones-- and do it all years, even decades, before the "normal" retirement age of 65.

With Work Less, Live More and a little planning, you can do it. The book provides a rational investment system based on Nobel Prize-winning research, a safe lifelong withdrawal plan and sensible spending guidelines.

More importantly, the book provides the inspiring stories and insights of many successful early semi-retirees, walking proof that meaningful work-- rather than full-time work-- is both fulfilling and rewarding.

The 2nd edition focuses on every age group -- especially "late bloomers" who may feel way behind. It also includes more information on healthcare issues.

If you're ready to pursue the rest of your life, turn to Work Less, Live More and get going!

About the Author, Robert Clyatt

Bob Clyatt pursued a 20-year career in information services and the Internet before semi-retiring at age 42 in 2001. Since then, he and his family live principally off income from their savings in the manner described in his book, Work Less, Live More: The New Way to Retire Early. He continues to work on a part-time basis and is an avid cruising sailor, amateur sculptor and a serious student of yoga. This rich set of activities is only possible because of the large amounts of time freed by working less.
