Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning? In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 10
Marc Freedman, hailed by the New York Times as “the voice of aging baby boomers [seeking] meaningful and sustaining work later in life”, makes an impassioned call to accept the decades opening up between midlife and anything approximating old age for what they really are: an entirely new stage of life, which he dubs the encore years. The whole 60- to 80-year-old period is simply new territory, he writes, and the people in this period constitute a whole new phenomenon in the 21st century.

Only for non-profit encore careers...

Only for non-profit encore careers...
Revisado: 02-20-12
What would have made The Big Shift better?
If he had given some examples of people going into FOR-PROFIT encore careers, instead of just into NON-PROFIT, altruistic careers. Doing good for the world is very admirable; however, some of us still need to make money as we get older!
Would you ever listen to anything by Marc Freedman again?
Only if he offers examples of second careers in which I can make money.
What about Walter Dixon’s performance did you like?
I don't remember much, one way or the other
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Yes, I did enjoy the stories of real people he presented; they were just not relevant to my situation.
Any additional comments?
I was hoping this book would offer suggestions from real people about second careers as they age; however, the people he mentioned were all very highly motivated to 'save the world'; some of us can't afford that and must make some money!
