Publisher's summary

When America became a nation, only one in five people lived to age 70. Now more than four out of five do. The average life expectancy in America is currently around 80 years—and increasing. This expansion begs the question: What are we to do with a second half of life that could last 40 or more years? The additional time makes it inevitable that somewhere between age 35 and 60, many of us will find ourselves at the cusp of a massive (and possibly catastrophic) transition.

A decade ago, Randy Elrod created a live experience (a rite of passage) called "The Quest" for people age 35 and over. Since then, he has guided Quest experiences in New Mexico and Tennessee with participants from all walks of life. While there is nothing like attending "The Quest" in person, the hope is that this book will become a well-worn guide map for one’s journey into second life.

The path of "The Quest" is a unique journey, and no two ways are alike. Therefore, each story is different, yet every story is the same. The many options can be disorienting. But fortunately, there are universal waypoints (intermediate points) that guide one to find the wisdom needed to make this journey of personal freedom.

During the 15 years the author researched this book, 10 topics repeatedly appeared in the rituals, books, and resources and his conversations with others going through the transition to second life. Psychologist Carl Jung calls such recurrences synchronicity or “meaningful coincidences”.

The waypoints (chapters) in this book explore those recurring themes. Ten ways to discover one’s call to adventure, to survive the trials, accept the rewards, and, yes, enjoy the second half of life.

Better to say nothing at all

Confusing, fact with opinion is a common mistake . In this case, I choose to say nothing rather than anything and wish the author all the best.
