    Review

    An easy-to-use life-insurance guidebook. Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU) Steuer notes that life insurance is "one of the least exciting topics to think about," and here he offers a painless reference book to that gray world. The format of the book, framed as answers to frequently--and not-so-frequently--asked questions, will help readers make informed decisions about what kind of life insurance to purchase and how to monitor your holdings to avoid any nasty surprises down the road. Read in its entirety, the book provides a deep-immersion course (this exhaustive resource is certainly dense) on all aspects of the subject. But it's also helpful in addressing the quandary of the moment, from something as basic as whether or not to buy term or permanent insurance to the material knowledge that can be gleaned from insurance regulatory information reports. Steuer lays out pros and cons, demonstrates how you can use mathematical calculations to arrive at a plan that best suits you, brings needs-analysis into play and tenders an array of quick facts that help put issues into perspective. Though the sentences are often halting and poorly constructed--"It stems from the old principle that if a villager's house burned down, and then the other villagers would help to rebuild the house"--the information is solid. Steuer's premise is economic commonsense--when laying out tens of thousands of dollars, it's good to know what you're buying--and his guidance is valuable. -- Kirkus Reviews

    Format:Paperback
    This is quite a useful reference both for the financial services professional and for the layperson with specific questions about life insurance. The question and answer format, user-friendly table of contents and reference tables make it easy to find the answers you are seeking. The writing is clear and easily understood. Life insurance industry jargon is explained in plain English.

    The book begins with the basics and moves on to progressively more complex questions. It delves into the minutiae without becoming tedious.

    It is comprehensive, covering most anything you might want - or not want- to know about life insurance. Most readers will use the book to answer specific questions, but it is well enough organized to serve as a textbook for those interested in the complex field of life insurance.

    Overall, an excellent effort and worth the money.

    I found this book to be very thorough, covering many important topics regarding life insurance. This book is very consumer friendly, as well as informative to a seasoned professional. There does not seem to be very much on the topic of life insurance in the marketplace and it is refreshing to see Mr. Steuer tackle these issues in a consumer friendly manner. I would be more than happy to recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about the life insurance industry. Many books are written on how to accumulate assets/wealth. More books, like this one, should tackle the issues of protecting financial assets.

    Format:Paperback
    Thank You, Mr. Steuer! I can now understand the mysterious world of life insurance and why it's so important to be insured. Q&A on Life Insurance was written just for you and me in language that is simple and easy to understand. The best part, it's a non-biased reference without the sales pitch.

    I appreciate the easy to find answers. I don't have to dig through pages of information to find what I need. Readers will also appreciate that Mr. Steuer has taken the time to de-code and decipher traditional life insurance lingo. His book is filled with many useful definitions. I had several "ah-ha" moments myself.

    A definite MUST-HAVE for your private reference collection.
