The US Review of Books
"Before retiring, it's wise to begin building bridges to things
you are passionate about, so that when the time comes, you have a
choice of which bridges you can comfortably take into the next
phase of your life."

financial matters, preparing a will, finding part-time and or
volunteer work, Bivona delivers practical, real-life advice and

"I realized after a friend's demise that many of the possessions
that he had accumulated over his lifetime and were so dear to him,
were of no interest to his heirs or friends, and were disposed of
like pieces of junk."
Staking his own territory in the popular and compelling category
of memoir writing, Bivona writes in a genuine narrative tone about
how to manage the freedom, new opportunities and choices of
retirement by focusing on what he knows and enjoys traveling,
dancing, boating, fishing, tennis, golf, writing, reading, and
