Finding the top 3 for the longest time might not be possible.

For what it's worth, here's Amazon's current top 4 with the
word 'retire' in the title:

I used Amazon's advanced search feature.

This page lists the top sellers with 'retire' in the title
in all books:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b/103-4579217-6860668?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=retire&Go.x=8&Go.y=6&Go=Go

This page lists the top sellers with 'retire' in the title
in the 'reference' section:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?search-alias=stripbooks&field-keywords=&author=&select-author=field-author-like&title=retire&select-title=field-title-words-begin&subject=&select-subject=field-subject&field-publisher=&field-isbn=&node=21&field-binding=&field-age=&field-language=&field-dateop=before&field-datemod=0&field-dateyear=2009&chooser-sort=rank%21%2Bsalesrank&mysubmitbutton1.x=23&mysubmitbut
ton1.y=11

I then checked the top titles on each page and ordered them
by their overall Amazon rank.

You may wish to explore the other results on those pages, 
as well as the 'Customers who bought...also bought' section
at the bottom of all the pages I've linked to.


Happy retirement!
