""Missun conveys a lot of specific information in fewer than 250 pages, but the strongest aspect of his book, by far, is its consistently compassionate tone. He never comes across as being solely driven by numbers; rather, his tone is that of a friendly confidante who happens to be very knowledgeable about finance."" - Kirkus Reviews ""Missun takes a refreshing detour by urging readers to 'rethink' their retirement plan, keeping 'matters of the heart' at the forefront. He includes all the conventional advice-the nuts-and-bolts of personal finance, setting up emergency funds, portfolio management-but also delves into the why behind retirement planning, emphasizing how to uncover cognitive blind spots that may derail investment strategies and stressing that 'investing early and often is essential.' Beyond the day-to-day grind of retirement planning, Missun urges readers to make a positive mark on loved ones and the world at large."" -BookLife ""Holistic Retirement Planning lives up to its name. If utilized effectively, it can significantly alter the course of your life. Ron Missun's exhaustive exploration of the subject leaves readers well-informed and eager to learn more. His reassuring message is clear: no matter your current life stage, it's never too late to start planning for retirement."" - Literary Titan
