About Me:: Ernie J. Zelinski is the author of the international bestseller How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free: Retirement Wisdom That You Won't Get from Your Financial Advisor, which was rejected by over 35 American and British publishers. Since it was self published, How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free (distributed by Ten Speed Press) has sold over 80,000 copies. It has also been published in 7 foreign languages. What's more, go to www.Amazon.com and type "retirement" into the search feature. You will see that How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free appears in the number 1 position — out of over 175,000 listings for retirement books! Not bad, wouldn't you say, for a book that was rejected by over 35 major publishers? Of course, word-of-mouth advertising is the most powerful force when you have the best retirement book in the world.

Ernie Zelinski has negotiated 94 book deals with publishers in 25 different countries and his books have now sold over 500,000 copies worldwide. Ernie is best known as the author of The Joy of Not Working: A Book for the Retired, Unemployed, and Overworked, which is published by Ten Speed Press in Berkeley, California.

Ernie Zelinski is also author of the unconventional career book Real Success Without a Real Job: The Career Book for People Too Smart to Work in Corporations. His latest work is 101 Really Important Things You Already Know, But Keep Forgetting.

Ernie Zelinski has a B.Sc. in Engineering and a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Alberta. He occasionally speaks professionally on the subjects of book marketing, solo-entrepreneurship, early retirement, and applying creativity to business and leisure.
