A Passionate Guide to the Rest of Your Life

Authors: Frederic M. Hudson and Pamela McLean

$26.95

Starting a new chapter in the middle of your life should be an opportunity, not a daunting task. Truth is, it's harder to start in the middle than at the beginning. You're on a treadmill of relentless deadlines and responsibilities by the time these middle years arrive.

Hudson and McLean have a clear formula for "lifelaunching" adults. Their recipe is thoroughly informed and exceedingly practical for people of all ages. Beginning with chapters on "What is the Future You Want?" and "How to Manage Uncertainty," LifeLaunch tm provides five maps for launching yourself ahead:

Map 1 - How to Design your Chapters and Transitions;
Map 2 - How to Live with Passion and Purpose;
Map 3 - How to Balance the Parts of Your Life;
Map 4 - How to Get Older and Better;
Map 5 - How Learning Can Pull You Ahead.

"The secret to a resilient life in our kind of world is in knowing how to recycle yourself, over and over."

The authors guide you through a planning process that helps you evaluate the importance of your work commitments, money issues, home life, leisure - everything you're up to. Most of all-LifeLaunchtm evokes a passionate sense of purpose for the years just ahead of you. All this leads to a critical chapter on "Get a Plan - Walk Your Talk," followed by "Staying Power-How to Stay Renewed." Clear, inspiring, honest stuff.

Both Hudson and McLean, established authorities on human development, convey their message to all age groups in simple words that are powerfully written. More than a self-help or psychological book, LifeLaunchtm engages the reader in understanding "how to maximize your life" in each of the decades from twenty to ninety. To inspire readers as they plan, hundreds of apt quotes convey the key ideas in the margins of the book.

"This unique book provides the tools for proactively approaching change during our adult years with confidence, vigor and excitement. A must read for anyone contemplating a new chapter in their life."
Stephen R. Covey, Author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, and the founder of the Covey Center
