Hyrum W. Smith, the author of Purposeful Retirement, is an award-winning author, distinguished speaker, and successful businessman. He is one of the original creators of the famous Franklin Day Planner, the former Chairman, and CEO of Franklin Covey Co., and the recognized “Father of Time Management.”

The Author’s credentials were the reason I chose to read this book. It was not a surprise to see the idea of utilizing and measuring your time to be part of the approach he presented. He mixed that approach with various ways to make the time value, suggesting different service approaches. It was a positive approach and will likely help those feeling bad about their lost jobs and routine.

Smith challenges society’s view of retirement and offers ways to shift your mindset, embrace the transition and live a life entirely in retirement.
