The Number- A Completely Different Way to Think About the Rest of Your Life (Health, Home & Learning)

Cover of ISBN 0743553756The Number
A Completely Different Way to Think About the Rest of Your Life (Health, Home & Learning):
Book - Simon & Schuster Audio Audio CD Published 2006-01-03. Description:

It's the last question you think about before going to sleep, and the first on your mind in the morning. It's a taboo that you can't easily discuss with friends and can barely face with family. It's The Number: the amount of money you need to secure the rest of your life. Do you know what your Number is? Do you know how to think about it? Do you know what you really want to do with it?

A provocative field guide to our psyches and our finances, Lee Eisenberg's The Number will help you have the money conversations you have been avoiding. It will make you think about the kind of life you want and the kind of help you need to achieve it. You will also discover:

• Why you wander through your financial "lost years" until it is almost too late

• Why downshifting into retirement is so challenging

• How the second half of life is being reinvented as we live longer

An important program for anyone over thirty, The Number is the audiobook to listen to before you consult an investment adviser or a retirement guide -- and above all, before the rest of your life slips by, unexamined.

Description: "Do you know your Number? What happens if you don't make it to your Number? Do you have a plan? The often-avoided, anxiety-riddled discussion about financial planning for a secure and fulfilling future has been given a new starting point in The Number by Lee Eisenberg. The buzz of professionals and financial industry insiders everywhere, the Number represents the amount of money and resources people will need to enjoy the active life they desire, especially post-career. Backed by imaginative reporting and insights, Eisenberg urges people to assume control and responsibility for their standard of living, and take greater aim on their long-term aspirations.

      • Review:: 'Not For Commoners! I read this book in the hopes of gaining a helpful framework for thinking about - and perhaps even achieving - my "number" for retirement, but that is not what I found between its covers. Mostly the book concerns itself with the soul - searching and anguish that people who have 1 - 10 million dollar "nest eggs" go through in trying to decide if its enough to support them in the manner to which they have become accustomed, until such time as they pass on. Although I really FEEL for these people, my financial situation is much more in sync with the run-of-the-mill American, and for us Mr. Eisenberg has barely a mention, let alone advice. On a positive note, I did find his writing style to be very engaging. Bottom line - I would have to recommend that you avoid this book and use the time saved to read something more useful and/or fun.
      • Review:: 'There is no number, only a lot of assumptions and risks "The number" poses an interesting question but provides no helpful answers. A four percent draw on invested assets is as much an old wives' tale as a piece of scientific wisdom, even if it is a number. Eisenberg's number is the inverse of that draw down, or twenty-five times.... well, there's the rub, twenty-five times what? income? expenses? income less savings? projected discretionary spending? Post-mortgage payoff and college tuition expenses? The proverbial bottom line is clouded by conversations with an eclectic collection of consultants, experts, philosophers, and casual acquaintances. Eisenberg, a former Esquire editor and short-timer with Lands End, ruminates about a simple question: How much money do you need to feel secure? The problem is that security comes in multiple forms: happiness, comfort, excess consumption, ego. And the accuracy and stability of those measures and outcomes is compounded by key assumptions about how long you will live and how healthy those years will be. Constructing a one-year budget is hard enough. Constructing a thirty-year budget is nearly impossible. Eisenberg doesn't help his case by the offbeat and idiosyncratic examples and profiles he chooses. Doctors, divorcees, `downshifters', and very little real data shed little light on the real issues. Maybe I knew too much going in. Maybe I expected too much from a few positive references from other sources. In the middle I was confused. By the end I was simply disappointed. And I have my own number, and it changes every day.
      • Review:: 'It certainly changed my plans for the rest of my life. The Number, a completely different way to think about the Rest of Your Life, by Lee Eisenberg is an excellent book that covers a topic we all need to think about. I can't remember how I heard about it but, without thinking, felt it was probably about how mathematics influences our lives. Being a sometime mathematician, it sounded like a book I might enjoy. I found that the Sacramento Public Library had it in their catalog so I placed a request for it. (I love the way I can order any book in the whole Sacramento County library system as easily or more easily than finding it in my local library.) Well, it turns out that The Number refers to the amount of money that each of us feels we need to be "set" for life, to not have to worry about where our next meal is coming from or whether we'll be homeless come the first of the month. Of course, for most of us, for most of our lives, The Number is a theoretical figure, far beyond what we currently have in the bank. But according to Eisenberg, we think about the number if only in a "take this job and shove it" sort of way. The Number is the reason that millions play the state lotteries, hoping to hit The Number the "easy" way. This book is no lightweight commentary, though. Eisenberg talks seriously about how we compute and how we should compute this number, how it tends to increase if we should actually reach it, and what happens during our mature years when we find ourselves un- or under-employed without having reached The Number. I won't divulge all Eisenberg's secrets (except for a small fee when I'm an independent consultant). It is interesting to read about his journey of discovery about them. In spite of the title, the book is not all about numbers either. Eisenberg recognizes that life is so much more fulfilling if we can retire TO something and not just FROM something. He spills a lot of ink describing how to develop whole life plans not just health and wealth plans. In fact, given our longer, healthier aging years, that may turn out to be the more important aspect once we've dealt with The Number. As part of this analysis, Eisenberg quotes George Kinder who recommends that each of us ask ourselves three questions: 1. Assume you have all the money you need for the rest of your life. What would do? How would you live? Let your imagination go. 2. You've been diagnosed with a rare disease. You will live perfectly healthy until sometime between 5 and 10 years from now. You will then die suddenly and painlessly. How would you live? What would you do with the next 5 years? 3. The doctor tells you you have 24 hours to live. What did you miss doing? What did you not get to do or be? The answers to these three questions will tell you how important The Number is for you and what you'll do for The Rest of Your Life once you have accumulated your Number.
      • Review:: 'very disappointing the premise was great, a really nice idea for a book. there were a few interesting statistics in the book, but overall i found the book pointless and rambling. i'm still not sure what i was supposed to have taken from it. was there a point? i agree wholeheartedly with a previous poster who wondered about eisenberg's definition of "middle class". despite a couple of charts breaking assets and earnings up by quintile, his anecdotes and stories clearly predominantly focused on the top fifth or top tenth of americans.
      • Review:: 'Worst Advice Book in History This is, without question, the WORST book ever written on one's financial life. To begin with, it's useless: ZERO information, ZERO new analysis of old information, ZERO advice, ZERO interesting anecdotes. Additionally, it's rambling--meandering from summaries of old data, to poorly written schmaltzy 'new age' feel-good blathering. What exactly is this guy's point? No way to tell. Seriously, this book is SO BAD that all the people who allowed their names to be associated with blurbs on the cover have, in my opinion, lost all remaining credibility. What a waste of my $16 and 4 hours. I want my money and time back.

Handbook of Home Health Standards and Documentation -- Guidelines for Reimbursement

Book by Tina M. Marrelli. Mosby 680 pages Spiral-bound Published 2001-05-31. Description: A standard reference in the home health market, HANDBOOK OF HOME HEALTH STANDARDS & DOCUMENTATION: GUIDELINES FOR REIMBURSEMENT includes everything the home care nurse needs to effectively document care based on accepted professional standards. For each of the more than 60 clinical problems included, this handbook offers detailed standards and documentation guidelines including ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes, service skills, factors justifying homebound status, outcomes and goals, discharge plans, and specific tips for reimbursement. Widely known as the "little red book," the fourth edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded to include new guidelines on trauma and ventilator care, basic assessment tools, OASIS considerations, up-to-date coding, information on the Propsective Payment System (PPS) guidelines, and the most recent government .
      • Review:: 'Quickly settles disputes, answers questions, a "MUST" for all home care nurses & their management teams ! I have the 4th edition (at this time is the most recent edition in print) and as a psych home care nurse, this little, portable wealth of knowledge has helped me validate to management, as well as to public health and other surveyors, the range in situations that qualify "homebound status" for psychiatric patients. Throughout the book there are samples provided to support a variety of situations that help the nurse better understand, and therefore more accurately report, on each sector of the OASIS forms. Medicare regulations are explained in detail, and I learned information that I had not known in the 14 years I have been doing mental health home care nursing. The manual provides a history and background of homecare, its evolution, provides an overview of documentaion, including the importance of coding, and its significance in home care. Also, valuable tips on improving the nursing visit, setting achievable goals, managing the case, and the guidelines for care for all the home care disciplines, are provided, so the nurse can be knowledgable regarding the roles of the other disciplines. There is a great resource section at the end of the book, and home care definitions, roles, and abbreviations are delineated in this manual as well. All home care codes are listed. With the often-confusing regulations and data gathering tools out there, at least we on the front lines have this portable manual to help us sort out our assessments and evaluations into the accurate coding and leveling criteria that supports what we do, what we observe, and allows for the appropriate revenue to support the levels of care our patients require. As OASIS data-gathering evolves, newer editions will be needed to keep up with the miriad of changes that will ensue, but at least here is a standard we can all make good use of, and I am willing to bet every nurse, from novice to manager, will find something in this manual that was not known or delineated as well to them in the past. This manual would also make a wonderful teaching tool for nursing students. They may as well learn early on how intricate the data-gathering tools are in the real working world. Accurate notations on the OASIS forms can either make or break a case, not only regarding reimbursement, but as to whether the levels of care, and variety of disciplines, that you feel are needed, are allowed to provide services to your patient. Hasty and inaccurate translation of evaluations and assessments onto the OASIS forms results in inability to justify to Medicare that the levels of intervention you are requesting are appropriate.
      • Review:: 'updated verision i had the early verison and used it for making my care plan. the content is now updated and still valuable.
      • Review:: 'Home Health Standards A MUST resource guide for all nurses who work in the Home Health industry.
      • Review:: 'Best training manual for nurses ever written I have always used this handbook to train new home care nurses. It's compact enough to fit into their nursing bag and tote along on admissions. Be sure to order one for each nurse and therapist or they will get into a tug of war over them
      • Review:: 'Answers legal questions quickly Home health regulations have always been lengthy and murky to the average nurse. This small but concise book gets to the bottom line clearly and quickly. Questions such as maximum hours of weekly coverage and homebound requirements are clearly discussed. An essential resource book for team teaching in a home health agency. A great car guide to the nurse making home visits. I have ordered this book 3 or 4 times over the last 10 years of home health nursing experience. Reach for this book first if you are a new home health nurse in a certified agency - you will not regret it.
