Something to Live For: Finding Your Way in the Second Half of Life

Personlig udvikling

Using a compilation of stories, two authors reflect on how to find meaning and purpose in the second half of your life.

Drawing on ancient and contemporary wisdom, as well as modern research, Richard Leider and David Shapiro provide insightful ways of thinking and being that help us find meaning and purpose in the second half of life. This deeply reflective book uses a safari, (referencing a trip the authors took to Africa in 2006) as a metaphor to show how the second half of life can be a journey of discovery. In what may be their most personal book to date, Leider and Shapiro share dozens of moving stories, from both their own experiences and those of their safari companions, that offer sometimes surprising examples of lives well-lived, lives that exemplify the qualities of authenticity and wholeheartedness that they believe are essential to finding meaning and purpose in the second half of life. There are many pathways to putting our whole selves into life, especially during the second half, and in Something to Live For, Leider and Shapiro explore many routes to vital aging.

“If you want to be inspired, just read this book full of personal, practical, and surprising stories about what matters, what works—and what’s next.” —Walter F. Mondale, former Vice President, Senator and Ambassador

“I cannot think of a more important subject, or a more important book, than this one. In a world where so many feel set adrift on choppy seas, we need Something to Live For more than ever.” —Richard Bolles, author of What Color Is Your Parachute?

“Until now, we’ve lacked authoritative maps for the second half of life. This book provides such a map, and it’s a wonderful guide for everyone to read.” —Harry R. Moody, Director of Academic Affairs, AARP
