Your midlife doesn't have to be a crisis. In fact, the second half of your life can be better than the first. Let bestselling author Bob Buford show you how.What do you want to do with the rest of... This description may be from another edition of this product.
If I had to describe this book in one sentence, I'd have to say it's a Christian based self-help book for people entering the second half of their life to help them make the most of what time is left. If this sounds a bit pessimistic, believe me it's not, in fact its the opposite. The book is extremely optimistic and wants the second half of your life to be the best- and I believe it can be. The book leads you through an insightful journey to help you figure out where you want to be headed. There are many thought provoking questions and the book ends with a discussion guide, mainly intended for small groups, however I don't see why a single reader couldn't benefit from it as well. All-in-all it's worth the read if you're looking for a little direction for the last leg of your journey. Also recommend "Finding Happiness in a Frustrating World".

Cure for the career blahs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Most career-oriented individuals reach a plateau in life where they realize there's more to life and happiness than making money and climbing the corporate ladder. They begin to wonder what life would be like if they had a career that permitted them to do what they love to do, rather than what they are good at doing. This book is for anyone who wants to get off of the treadmill but isn't sure how.

Mr. Buford's book is only the 2nd that I have finished in 15 years. I normally read only articles and summaries. But I am in the halftime of life and the book is a big encouragement to assess my abilities and target their deployment for significant, eternal purposes. The book was recommended by a friend who is a "tentmaker" in Singapore and has already made the switch to significance, leveraging the skills and abilities that God has given him. If you want to make a lasting impact with the second half of your life, this book will nudge you into action!
