Every eight seconds someone in this country turns 50, an age at which even baby boomers can no longer put off becoming fiscally responsible and planning for the future. For everyone who finds that thought daunting (and that's an awful lot of us), Charles R. Schwab, America's most trusted figure in financial services, is here to outline the simple steps we should take to evaluate what we have, determine what we'll need, and put our money to work to make our future one of reward instead of worry. In the same upbeat, user-friendly style that made Charles Schwab's "Guide to Financial Independence" a bestseller, "You're Fifty- Now What?" offers a mix of clear and workable advice, simple worksheets, and a healthy dose of encouragement. In addition to learning how to accumulate and grow their money, readers will even find help with estate planning and charitable giving. His message is that the goal is not just financial security, but financial peace of mind. The way to get there is not by being a spectator, but a participant. It doesn't take special talent or advanced degrees; it just takes attention and a little time. With baby-boomers living longer and spending more time in retirement, the need is clear. Charles Schwab's "You're Fifty- Now What?" is the perfect place to get started.… (altro)

I had somewhat mixed reactions to this book. In some areas, the book is almost passive-aggressive in its tone, with a great deal of false modesty. In other areas, the book has a great deal of insight into its subject matter, which was the development of US diplomacy over an extended period of time. With, it should be noted, a great deal of confusion. There is a slightly annoying tendency for Kennan to engage in I-told-you-so discussions, and I think I ought to read Acheson's memoirs to get a better balance. Interestingly, Kennan is nearly dismissive of one of his most famous works, the "X" article which dealt with the containment of post-war Stalinist Russia (and which Kennan is at pains to say should have only been applicable to that concept, and not others). I also don't think much of Kennan's poetry, as well. Still undecided as to whether to recommend. ( )

Kennan thinks clearly and writes in a style that is a pleasure to read. The period covered includes his time in the State Department up to his departure for academia. For an understanding of the US response to the problem of Soviet Russia, this book is essential. ( )

943 Memoirs 1925-1950, by George F. Kennan (read 16 Feb 1968) (Pulitzer Biography prize for 1968) (National Book Award nonfiction prize for 1968) This book started intriguingly, but then turned sour as Kennan became plaintive and ego-centered. ( )
  Schmerguls | Aug 24, 2009 |
If you care about America how can you not read this book? and having read it how can you fail to see Kennan as anything but a friendly, but no less perceptive, critic of what America is and how our actions in the world at large define what we become? ( )
