Book Preview:

#1 The one thing we can predict about our own lives is that they will be unpredictable. In this life stage, we will be beset by internal and external crises. We must find a new sense of meaning and purpose in our lives.

#2 As we age, our bodies and relationships change, and the pace of change accelerates. We must develop new habits to meet the challenges of this life stage. Change may be gradual, but our realization of it comes in bursts.

#3 We can grow in our moral imagination. This increased capacity for empathy comes from our own suffering and our witnessing of suffering. Pain drives us deeper and makes us kinder. It also makes us tougher.

#4 We are constantly engaged in a process of reflecting and problem solving. We ask questions such as Now that I have time to travel, where do I want to go. and Since my best friend moved to Arizona, whom do I call for a movie date.
