This review is from: From Success to Significance: When the Pursuit of Success Isn't Enough (Hardcover)

This is a wonderful book if you are looking for a tangible process of thinking through "what's next" for you in your life. It does more than just give you a 30,000 foot view, but takes you through the right questions to ask and simple, yet profound, tools to help you find your sweet spot in the second half of your life.

This review is from: From Success to Significance: When the Pursuit of Success Isn't Enough (Hardcover)

This is a great book to read as you enter your late 30's to get prepared to "be significant" in the 2nd half of your career. It presumes that you are unable to quit your job, but suggests various alternatives for becoming significant while maintaining your job/career.

There are a few things that I learned from reading this book. I have recently retired (knowing I must continue working) so the book was a timely read. However, the information did not resonant with me. On the other hand, I found Halftime to be inspiring, as well as, informative.
