Financial Life Planner Kiran Telang has impeccably brought out multiple aspects of life after retirement. If you are in your working years, read this book to understand what surprises life could bring you, and how you can prepare yourself for those. If you are already retired, you need this book to relate to your current life and see if you need to make any modifications, or get a different perspective to issues.
The book covers many aspects of retirement including money, and gives a holistic perspective of retired life.
What the book is…
This book intends to present to the reader a way of thinking holistically about retirement. It attempts to provide stepping stones for creating a thought process around choices of life in a manner that retirement becomes a part of the whole, not just another event. This book is that part of the retirement discussion that rarely happens, but it is about the life that actually happens. Without this, any retirement discussion is incomplete. This book appeals to people across all ages, be to young earners, pre-retirees or those in advanced retired life.
What the book is not…
This is not a do-it-yourself retirement guide. There are no templates on creating or spending a retirement corpus. There is no financial jargon in the book.

Book’s Testimonials
Loved the Simplicity
This is a must read book for every woman.
Complicated Financial concepts have been simplified by the authors through real life examples. The book showcases the importance of financial planning for a woman in today’s day and age.
MONEY + WOMEN = WISE
Here is a very refreshing content on this much needed subject for Women. Very experienced authors, easy writing, good examples, thumb rules & Q&As…. the book has the best of everything. A very good primer for a Women Investor to get started 👍👍👍
The authors knew that the trick for such a subject is not to get into lot of technical detail, as the reader would then just drop the book to ‘read later’ 😀
Glad that this book is available now. Ideal for companies to gift to all employees on Women’s International Day 🙂
As an advisor myself, I can see that the fine experience of the authors has been well curated in this book with byte sized, easily readable chapters.
Good Job Kiran & Amit Bhai 👌👌👌
A must read book on money management for women
The modern life offers opportunities, as well as creates complexities for the women folk. While juggling many roles, the role of an efficient money manager easily takes a back seat for most women. Financial decisions are left to the men in the family, while she hustles and bustles with the daily routine. But life has its own plans. Rather than waiting for the life circumstances to force us to take responsibility of our finances, would it not be better if we women proactively educate ourselves on the money matters? If your answer is yes, please do read this book ‘Moneywise Perspectives For Women’ by Kiran Telang and Amit Trivedi.
This book takes you through the basics of money management and provides specific action points to take charge of your finances. The concepts are explained in a simple and easy to follow language. A peep into the mind of a woman reveals the personal and social traits that prevent her from becoming financially independent. Further, the book seeks to foster a positive behaviour towards money by women. It also offers insights on various life situations that she may find herself in, and the way to handle finances in each of these cases (this is my favourite part of the book). Most women will find themselves on one or more pages in the book.
While each situation that we face could be unique, and there are no easy answers, this book will serve as a guide and inspiration to many of us.
All my investment worries are taken care of by Kiran and I get regular advice on the choices I need to make. Operating on the highest levels of ethics, trust and transparency, I could not have done without her sound advice.
In an extremely busy work phase the gentle nudges provided by Kiran to pause plan for the future are much appreciated. Getting my wife to be a part of the financial planning process was an added bonus. We are happy with the direction of our financial lives.
We recently met a couple of our major life goals and are confident of having a great retired life in a few years from now. Thanks to Kiran for her constant efforts to help us make good financial decisions.
Kiran has crafted strategies to meet our requirements and making changes along the way as life kept changing. It has been a great journey over the years that has led to a comfortable retired life for my spouse and me.
Clearing up the mess and creating a beautiful thing out of it. That’s what my personal financial plan looked like to me. Very happy with the guidance provided by Kiran and the progress we are making in our wealth creation.
I had been saving and investing for a long time on my own. Kiran helped me see the big picture and brought meaning to the whole exercise. Her personalised advice tailored to meet my specific situation has helped me sharpen focus on my goals.
Kiran provided a very different perspective on my money management. She opened my eyes to new possibilities. Her advice helped me take a leap towards my goals and dreams with confidence.
Your book ‘Mindful Retirement’ provides a very good insight on retirement in modern time. When I took early retirement in 2017, I had given a thought on lot of topics covered in your book. I find a great similarity in my own emotions, feelings behind my retirement decision and your views expressed in the book.
In a way, I have just changed my way of living and not ‘retired’ in old sense of the word. Hence more than reading a book, it was like spending time with a friend looking in the same direction.
All the very best to you in your journey of life and continue writing such excellent books!
I have read your book “Mindful Retirement” number of times. With each reading I got different perspective. The book is very thorough and embraces nuts and bolts of human psychology.
Had I come across your book earlier, my life would have been totally different. I would have got an opportunity to improve upon my personality drawbacks. I strongly feel that every person coming closer to retirement must read this book so that their retirement life would be much happier.
I also feel that every company should have this book in their library and at the same time they should conduct training programmes for their employees on “Mindful Retirement”, a highly important subject matter.
Flow of language throughout the book is easy to understand, while at the same time it is very rich in expression. Elucidation of the subject matter is just superb which makes the reader to think, ponder, introspect.
I am very much impressed about the book and this is the first time I am writing to the author about the evaluation of the book. This has not happened before and I feel this is the credit of the book. I wish many more accolades to you.All the very best.
I picked up your book “MINDFUL RETIREMENT” and could read, understand and appreciates the contents in a span of 6 hours reading with gaps.
I sincerely wish to congratulate you for a new approach adapted to pen a book on a common subject. When one reads your book, it clearly comes out that you have first-hand knowledge, you empathise with your clients and eventhough your specialisation is finance, you are able to deal the subject on a wider perspective, which makes absolute sense.
I am an industrialist, still active at 74 and my wife is a general practitioner. I have decided to gift your book to atleast four persons close to me, that tells all about my appreciating the book.
I have a great feeling that you will pen many more books.
