- 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 90,000 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 550,000 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.
