Ernie Zelinski's best-seller book on retirement, How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free, is one of the best written resources on the subject. Since I retired from teaching music in the public schools in 2013, I have been preaching his gospel about finding meaning and work/life balance in retirement. I even promote it in my blog-posts [...] for soon-to-retire music teachers. His informal curriculum of setting goals, creating a "get-a-life" tree, and satisfying the three basic needs of retirees to find "purpose, community, and structure," is absolutely amazing. I call it "re-channeling your juices," focusing on your "new" mission - why you are excited to get up in the morning - avoiding too many passive (boring) activities, and seeking out ways to "make a difference." His text, illustrations, and quotations are hilarious! Especially for many music educators, the transition to our "golden years" can be "bumpy!" We are too "Type-A" for our own good and personally identify (our self-worth) too much with our school music programs. It is difficult to walk away and not look back. When we take that first leap and leave full-time employment, sometimes we carry excess emotional baggage. Ernie Zelinski helps us to learn how to take it slow, plan and "intern" retirement, and get rid of everything else. My favorite sections in his book are Chapter 2 "Retirement: A Time to Become Much More than You Have Ever Been," Chapter 3 "So Many Worlds, So Much to Do!", and Chapter 5 "Learning is for Life." This is the book I purchase and give to every colleague who I know is planning to retire... the art teacher who lives on my street, the foreign language curriculum leader who is leaving the profession after serving 43 years at the school I also taught, etc. My only complaint is that I can never find my own copy of the book... I keep lending it out to "needy" newly retirees who probably "forget" to return it. That's another good reason he has sold more than 275,000 copies of How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free... we keep snatching them up and passing them on!
