 “By addressing the genuine challenges of what continues to be, for many, a do-it-yourself transition, this book proves that the midlife shift to new fulfillment is not only possible, but deeply desirable. It offers a set of compelling, credible role models, and distills their insights and experiences into a reliable roadmap for successfully planning this transition.
