Roar

into the second half of your life (before it's too late)

By: Michael Clinton

Narrated by: Michael Clinton, Gibson Frazier

This “inspiring reminder that it is never too late to reinvent yourself” (Nina García, editor-in-chief, Elle) shows you how to make second half of your life happy and productive—whether or not retirement is in your future plans.

We are living in a time when everyone is constantly reassessing what is next for them. In the mid-career group, people who have spent years working are now seeing their industry dramatically evolve and are facing the question: “What does that mean for me in the next twenty years?” At the same time, the post-career population is also going through massive change and dealing with the fact that many of them are not prepared financially, logistically, or emotionally for the next phase of their lives. And while we may want to retire, most of us don’t want to do nothing.

With expert insight and approachable techniques, Roar helps you identify fresh goals and take meaningful action to achieve a purposeful life. Featuring a unique and dynamic 4-part process, Roar shows you how to:

-Reimagine yourself
-Own who you are
-Act on what’s next
-Reassess your relationships

Transformative and invigorating, “you couldn’t pick a better roadmap for your next chapter than Roar. It teach[es] you how to approach the future not with fear or worry, but with passion and purpose” (Michael Sebastian, editor-in-chief, Esquire).

I love the perspective it gave me, from other’s people point of view. Got a lot of ideas as to what my next 30 years will look like.

Great book

This book was enlightening! I can’t wait to sit down and write my goals and dreams. I’m encouraged to dream and make it happen! Great read or should I say listen!!

Inspiring and Practical!

I enjoyed the large amount and wide variety of personal examples. It removes your ability to say “I can’t do that” or I’m too old”.
