Clinton has written what is essentially a self-help， inspirational guide for people who are eligible for a membership in AARP。 It is largely anecdotal divided into various areas of pursuit with examples of people who have reinvented themselves after a partial or full career， usually exploring hobbies， passions， or interests for profit or for pleasure。 Clinton probably doesn't cover any new ground here， and many other authors have written similar books。 At times his rhetoric about "you can do any Clinton has written what is essentially a self-help， inspirational guide for people who are eligible for a membership in AARP。 It is largely anecdotal divided into various areas of pursuit with examples of people who have reinvented themselves after a partial or full career， usually exploring hobbies， passions， or interests for profit or for pleasure。 Clinton probably doesn't cover any new ground here， and many other authors have written similar books。 At times his rhetoric about "you can do anything you can imagine" is a bit unrealistic。 His pattern of restating and summarizing throughout the book gets a little tiresome too。 However， I do think the testimonials he provides are valuable and encourage mid-lifers to reimagine what path they will take in their golden years that leads to fulfillment and a sense of true accomplishment。 。。。more

I am definitely not in the demographic for this book， but I won it in a giveaway so I wanted to at least check it out。 I had five books in my TBR and decided to read the first chapter of each to pick the one I was most interested in。 This book piqued my interest the most in the first chapter。Even though I’m 27， I still found the themes of this book helpful to keep in mind。 I mainly got “do what makes you happy” from the entire thing。 And that’s something that I need to remind myself every now an I am definitely not in the demographic for this book， but I won it in a giveaway so I wanted to at least check it out。 I had five books in my TBR and decided to read the first chapter of each to pick the one I was most interested in。 This book piqued my interest the most in the first chapter。Even though I’m 27， I still found the themes of this book helpful to keep in mind。 I mainly got “do what makes you happy” from the entire thing。 And that’s something that I need to remind myself every now and then。 。。。more

Michael Clinton's book， ROAR， is one of the more inspirational books I've come across in a long time。 What I like most is that the author lives the life he's advocating， his are not empty words。 He walks the walk。 From humble beginnings， Clinton has used every minute of his life to expand his horizons， give back to society and practice gratitude。 It's no surprise that he wants other people to keep going as they age， too。 There are wonderful examples of people from all walks of life who， as they Michael Clinton's book， ROAR， is one of the more inspirational books I've come across in a long time。 What I like most is that the author lives the life he's advocating， his are not empty words。 He walks the walk。 From humble beginnings， Clinton has used every minute of his life to expand his horizons， give back to society and practice gratitude。 It's no surprise that he wants other people to keep going as they age， too。 There are wonderful examples of people from all walks of life who， as they got older， longed for new adventures and meaning in their lives。 Gone are the days of people retiring at 65 and sitting on a park bench。 Older people today are doing all sorts of cool things and that's what this book is all about。 The message is so clear and strong that I believe this book is perfect for any age。 I'm planning to give a copy to my twenty something son as he tries to figure out his "first act"。 Whether you're looking at your first， second or third Act， ROAR's message is optimistic and relevant。 When you reach the last page of the book， you too be inspired to take on the world！ I was。 。。。more

I was particularly curious about this book which is related to the 'second half of your life'。 This book discusses resilience， planning for the future， and provides inspirational examples， generated through a survey， to determine how people are utilising their lives from mid-40s onwards。 I really like self-help/ motivational books， and this one is one I'd recommend。 Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 I was particularly curious about this book which is related to the 'second half of your life'。 This book discusses resilience， planning for the future， and provides inspirational examples， generated through a survey， to determine how people are utilising their lives from mid-40s onwards。 I really like self-help/ motivational books， and this one is one I'd recommend。 Thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

Roar is an inspiring book for those who feel that retiring means the end of life， or that life is only going to go downhill from there。 This book says it's not。 So what happens next？ Michael Clinton has found out stories of people from so many roads of life and compiled it here， all in one book。 Imagine my surprise when I learnt that it was possible for a man in his eighties to be skiing away！ But it is very obvious that everything stated in this book isn't possible for everyone， especially once Roar is an inspiring book for those who feel that retiring means the end of life， or that life is only going to go downhill from there。 This book says it's not。 So what happens next？ Michael Clinton has found out stories of people from so many roads of life and compiled it here， all in one book。 Imagine my surprise when I learnt that it was possible for a man in his eighties to be skiing away！ But it is very obvious that everything stated in this book isn't possible for everyone， especially once they have reached a certain age， no matter how optimistic this book wrote it out to be。 And the thing is， it's easy to summarise what this book says: don't just retire， but look beyond and think far and wide about where your life could go next for its next big adventure。 That's it。 But this book included one story after another of people's lives。 And it's all。。。 very messy， since every point seems to overlap。 A lot。 It wasn't easy for me to keep my attention up， so I decided to drop it。This review is written based on the ARC provided by the publisher through Netgalley。 。。。more
