This section will help you prepare for your retirement adventure. After completing the first four chapters, you should be able to design a comfortable planning schedule live with more style before retirement make a smoother, more successful transition when retirement arrives and recognize and adjust to the myths and misconceptions about retirement. 

One reason this myth may continue is that women sometimes lose their spouses early. The transition to widowhood is so traumatic that it hides the equally important second passage they must make. 

John Prausnitz I d like to make one quick addendum. I want to defend the use of molecular simulations because we have gained insight from them as well. Let me mention one outstanding example. Until about 20 years ago, we believed that you could only condense a phase with attractive forces, and no one ever questioned that myth. Then computer simulations were done in the 1960s by Bemi Alder and his associates. The results showed that even for hard spheres, without any attractive forces, you can get a phase transition. This was never present in the van der Waals theory. I want to emphasize that simulations also add to our conceptual knowledge.

The practically unlimited amounts of carbon dioxide available in the atmosphere or bound as carbonates make this chemical an attractive feedstock for chemical synthesis. Recent findings to coordinate CO2 in metal complexes and model reactions with CO2 using transition metals do away with the myth that CO2 is inert. A comparison may be drawn with H2O, which easily reacts with energy rich olefins. Indeed, equations (5) and (6) demonstrate the ease with which CO2 reacts with olefins in catalytic cycles [16]. Here more research is needed to explore the full potential. 

Overcoming the fear of the novel type of organometallic reactants and a myth of using expensive transition metal complexes in a different way than classical organic reagents, some of these systems are used routinely as a tool for the introduction of C = O functionalities of various skeletons of practical importance. The enhanced selectivity, the well-defined mechanism, and the applicability of standard techniques are the main features that make these homogeneous catalytic reactions attractive. 

Myth The RDStep is the one with the highest energy Transition State. 

S Myth A lower determining transition state will enhance the TOE Fact It may enhance the TOE, but only if the 5E is lowered. 

A quick glance at Figure 9.1 and Eq. (9.13) can easily demolish this myth. The = 3 system has much lower transition states than the w = 6 one, but as the full reaction is lowered in a parallel way, the 5E is virtually unchanged. Both catalysts are just equally useless.
