From 100 Mph To Zero: Why Money Isn't Enough and How to Be Truly Ready for Retirement

You planned the finances. You built the succession plan. But did you plan the person on the other side of the title?

Dennis Roberts retired at sixty after a thirty-six-year climb from sales rep to CEO. The money was ready. He wasn't. One Sunday morning he collapsed outside his church, and a few weeks into retirement he was in a funk he never saw coming.

This practical guide maps out five areas of retirement readiness, from personal finance to the identity crisis that quietly waits for every high achiever on the other side of the retirement party. You'll also hear from his wife, Paula, in her own words.

Inside, you'll discover:

• How to build a retirement finance plan that covers the Medicare gap and Social Security timing
• The marriage conversation every couple should have before the date is set
• How to rebuild your identity and find meaning beyond a career title
• What a fulfilling encore career or post-corporate purpose looks like in practice
• Why belonging matters more than most pre-retirees expect, and how to build it before you leave
• A Retirement Readiness Scorecard and a practical two-year countdown to prepare the person, not just the portfolio
