12 Things I Learned While Trying to Retire in Asia, ISBN 978-0-557-07575-1 $16, Is an adventure about a 5 year time span that starts with disillusionment in the American dream and culminates in change; what the author calls the inertia of spirit that brings great discoveries and excitement. A book for the rest of us, the working stiffs of this country, who don’t fancy retirement homes as their end of life scenario. Gerald Ridge is a successful business owner, who worked for High Tech companies in his early years as a technical trainer and course designer. His story is an American Story of years working to build a retirement nest egg that would never be enough; then watching it diminished in divorce and economic folly of corporate America. Change moves him to rebirth, hope and the adventure of finding a living spirit that stimulates childish joy. Not a memoir but a life story in quest of the unknowable. “Most of the time I grimace when someone gives me a book they wrote because it is always bad. I am then stuck with the task of skimming it so I can fake having read it. I was surprised by your book. It was an easy and interesting read.” Al
