Retirement Letters, Fan Mail, and Reviews about

How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free

It should come as no surprise to readers of my books that my retirement plan all along was to retire early.

Even so, I am still amazed by how many letters I have received from individuals who told me that they parted ways with their employer after reading one of my books, particularly The Joy of Not Working and How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free. Some even in their resignation letters or retirement letters to their employers mentioned their decision was based on reading one or more of my books.

The first letter or two I received from readers in this regard made me feel somewhat uncomfortable, at the same time hoping that no one would sue me with a claim that I was responsible for their decision that ended in dire consequences.

After I rechecked my premises, I realized that leaving corporate life should result in a better life for anyone who is fed up with their job. This should be true even for someone who may be forced to eventually return to a real job.

Of course, the fact that I have helped some people find happier, more satisfying lives outside the corporation has made me feel good.
