FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTHThe roadmap for finding purpose， meaning， and success as we age， from bestselling author， Harvard professor， and the Atlantic’s happiness columnist Arthur Brooks。First of all thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this fabulous book。 There was a reason it seemed to immediately get my attention and I’m glad it was made available to me。 The title didn’t initially capture my attention （I’m actually thinking it needs a title change that better captures the essence of this book FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTHThe roadmap for finding purpose， meaning， and success as we age， from bestselling author， Harvard professor， and the Atlantic’s happiness columnist Arthur Brooks。First of all thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this fabulous book。 There was a reason it seemed to immediately get my attention and I’m glad it was made available to me。 The title didn’t initially capture my attention （I’m actually thinking it needs a title change that better captures the essence of this book but I have no suggestions。 Strength to Strength doesn’t resonate for me）。Since I retired I have read many books trying to figure out what’s wrong with me why can’t I seem to get my act together following a very successful career。This book told me a lot。 Though I wouldn’t categorize myself as a workaholic I certainly had many of the attributes that negatively impacted my ability to let go of my work life and embrace the next life。 My overcommitment to my work did not prepare me for what matters most and I would say got in the way of me embracing how to navigate this new world of retirement。I really enjoyed this book and maybe it came when I greatly needed to hear what it had to say and support me in better figuring out what I need to do to move forward。 I plan on working through some of the recommended exercises。I appreciated the stories， exercises and research that the author shared。 That said there were some parts that didn’t resonate or where to high level to relate to。 One of the books he referenced the book Life Is In The transitions and I think it does a better job of clarifying what it feels Iike when you have had a significant change in your life。 I would definitely recommend to anyone who is starting their career， those struggling with balance， those contemplating a change， those nearing retirement and those already retired and still trying to find their place。 So basically anyone！ 。。。more

A self-help book for people over 50。 Many of us are what the author refers to as “strivers” who work hard most of our lives to build our careers。 However as we age， our work competence declines along with everything else and this can be a rough transition for those of us who do not plan for it。 Starting in our 50s， it is important to look for ways to “jump” from fluid intelligence to crystallized intelligence， using knowledge learned through our careers and life experience to find activities tha A self-help book for people over 50。 Many of us are what the author refers to as “strivers” who work hard most of our lives to build our careers。 However as we age， our work competence declines along with everything else and this can be a rough transition for those of us who do not plan for it。 Starting in our 50s， it is important to look for ways to “jump” from fluid intelligence to crystallized intelligence， using knowledge learned through our careers and life experience to find activities that help us continue to contribute and have life satisfaction。 I enjoyed the author’s terms in describing these important transitions。 He also focused on relationships and spirituality in the bulk of the book， most of which I found to be common knowledge when it comes to self-help。 The four stages of life that the author learned from the guru was helpful in prioritizing the objectives of each phase but otherwise， I found most of the book offered nothing new or helpful at least for me and was mostly pretty dry and uninteresting。 Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Publishing for the Advanced Reader Copy。 。。。more
