Book Description
Ernie Zelinski has taught more than 150,000 people what THE JOY OF NOT WORKING is about: learning to live every part of your life—work and play, employment, and retirement alike—to the fullest. In this completely revised and expanded edition, you'll learn how to create an excellent work/life balance by working less, producing more, and being more leisurely; how to gain the courage to leave a life-draining job; and, if you are recently retired or unemployed, how to bring purpose and community back to your life. Plus, new to this edition are 30 inspiring letters from readers detailing how the book helped them live a more exciting and rewarding life. Illustrated with eye-opening exercises, thought-provoking diagrams, and lively cartoons and quotations, THE JOY OF NOT WORKING will guide you to living a more exciting and rewarding life—at work and at play.

 The Joy of Not Working August 29, 2008
I have read both of Ernie Zelinski's books. The result of which is that I am now retired and living my dreams
Encouraging words August 26, 2008
This book gives a lot of encouragement to people who may be unhappy in their jobs or considering retirement. It's not enough to just get away from your job. You have to have something to go to. This book helps you think about what you will do with your time when you retire or stop working. People who have something to do handle not working better. Encouragement is the best feature of this book. It is not a how to book.
The Joy of Not Working July 14, 2008
I bought the book because my husband and I are thinking of retirement soon.
I read the whole book and I like it. The aim of the book is to promote active
and purposeful retirement; to enjoy leisure and not to be too concerned about acquiring a lot of
money in order to enjoy the life "after work". Retirement is a mind set.
The book gives a lot of excellent ideas to enjoy retirement.
A good book to consult if someone moves your cheese! May 16, 2007

The book is filled with alot of experience and wisdom to ponder. An excellent read if you are considering a major career change but do not know what you want. The book does not suggest you keep a stiff upper lip and take it, so do not read it if you do not want change. You will not be able to look at work or your life the same way when you have finished.
A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE May 16, 2007
