A practical guide to successfully navigating big life changes faced during middle age and later.

Are you at a point in your life where you're asking, “What’s next?” You’ve finished one chapter and you have yet to write the next one. Many of us face these transitions at midlife, but they can happen at any point. It’s a time full of enormous potential, and it defines a whole new phase of life. It’s called Life Reimagined.

Here is your map to guide you in this new life phase. You can use the powerful practices and insights to help you uncover your own special gifts, connect with people who can support you, and explore new directions.

You’ll be inspired by meeting ordinary people who have reimagined their lives in extraordinary ways. You’ll also read the stories of pioneers of the Life Reimagined movement such as Jane Pauley, James Brown, and Emilio Estefan. They show us that this journey of discovery can help us find fulfillment in surprising new places.

One of the profound truths that underlies this book is the liberating notion that each of us is “an experiment of one,” free to find our own path in this new phase of our lives. No old rules, no outdated societal norms, no boundaries of convention or expectation. Let Life Reimagined help you discover your new life possibilities!

Think of it as the most significant social story of our time: We are witnessing the arrival of a whole new stage of life. Today we're seeing people reach what used to be the "age of retirement" and convert it into the "age of possibilities." The authors call it "Life Reimagined." What those two words suggest is a new stage of life and-perhaps more importantly-a new way of thinking about life and living. At its core, Life Reimagined calls on each of us to engage life with a profound sense of what is possible, what is desirable, and what is personally meaningful.

One of the profound truths that under lies Life Reimagined is the liberating notion that "each of us is an experiment of one": in other words, each of us is free to find our own way forward on this journey of discovery. But another truth is that there is a set of six practices-ways of engaging with Life Reimagined-that can help each of us find that way forward. The six practices are:

• Reflect
• Connect
• Explore
• Choose
• Repack
• Act

Life Reimagined offers the opportunity for each of us to grow-not just older, but grow more whole, more healthy, and more uniquely ourselves.
