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

This is a nice， basic guide to reinventing your life。 There are lots of actionable items to do to figure out the next part of your life。That said， I personally was quite disappointed with this book。 It's clear that the author has never been sick a day in his life and he never actually deals with the fact of aging。 Reading this book， he seems to think it's completely possible for every 90 year old to be skiing or hiking。 As a much younger person who is already having serious physical issues due t This is a nice， basic guide to reinventing your life。 There are lots of actionable items to do to figure out the next part of your life。That said， I personally was quite disappointed with this book。 It's clear that the author has never been sick a day in his life and he never actually deals with the fact of aging。 Reading this book， he seems to think it's completely possible for every 90 year old to be skiing or hiking。 As a much younger person who is already having serious physical issues due to aging， I was hoping for a book on dealing with the inevitable fact of aging while re-inventing yourself。 。。。more
