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 No old rules, no outdated societal norms, no boundaries of convention or expectation.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!

I needed this...
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2014

In SEP I left my job of 27 years which was at the end of a forty or so year career in IT. Much of that was unpleasant, long, rewarding and challenging, but never true to my core interests; I just happened to be good at IT. Richard Leider has put together a very simple book with some manageable steps to re-start your life, doing what you actually enjoy. For three months or so I've been working through the process of trying to figure out what is next on my own, and also working with a professional firm which focuses primarily on getting you back in the work force. I ordered this last last week and it's helped me focus more than any other approach over the past three months. Reading "Life Reimagined" is like having a nice thoughtful person listening to you and being supportive of your interests, your need to do something really important and enjoyable for YOU in the time you have left. It's thought provoking enough that one would benefit reading it long before being Social Security eligible.

Inspirational for someone of any age looking for a change
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2014
Verified Purchase
I am currently taking a 9-month leadership course with lots of assigned reading; we were also charged with finding books to read on our own. This one caught my attention in the AARP magazine (full disclosure: I am only in my late 30's, but I am an AARP member because my husband is over 50 and we joined). This was the first book I read during my course that actually got me excited about change in my life. I found that most of the book offered concrete examples and tips, and generated excitement for me without trite platitudes (I should say that late chapters seemed to rely a bit more on such platitudes, but most of the book did not; it just drops off a bit towards the end). I also went to the Life Reimagined website and used many of the assessment tools, which are user-friendly, helpful, and kind of fun, to boot. I recommend checking out the book and the website, no matter how old you are. The messages and tools are timeless.

As part of the "baby boomer" generation I really enjoyed this book. I have signed on the web site, began a journal and am committed to expanding my future . So many of us have heard that we grow up, get jobs, take care of our families, grow older retire and lead a peaceful golden retirement. CRAP!! Not sure how my fellow baby boomers feel but at 63 I feel I have a hell of a lot of living to do. Work, recreation, hobbies, friends, all of it should be embraced with passion, creativity and excitement. This book was a great kick in the butt for me. As far as a rocking chair in my future, only if its a planter on the porch!! Tkx. SB

Great Self Help Book
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2014
Verified Purchase
This book paints a new picture of retirement. It casts a new light on that time in everyone's life. Past books, movies, TV shows and all other media say retirement is a time to go off, fish and wait your time to die. This book challenges people to look at things differently.

It is a mere shelf help book. You won't find anything earth shattering or life changing. The book has some very entertaining stories mixed in all throughout the book. The authors present a new way to at retirement. They call retirement a new start instead of an end. The whole program calls for people to reflect, connect, explore options, choose options, repack things, and then act. I know that sounds very simple. Once you read through the book you will see things differently. This new look will cause you to rethink options, see new things.

It is a great book for all, whether retirement is tomorrow or years away.

This book was recommended by AARP, and I am very glad that I purchased it. It's the best book I've ever read about changing careers and doing what you love at any age. It's very readable with plenty of examples, and is also laid out in such a way as to be used as a reference later while going through all the steps to make life changes. I enjoyed it so much that I recently purchased "Work Reimagined" and I am enjoying that as well.

Good article
Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2015
Verified Purchase
To be honest here, I've only read three chapters so far ... but it might not go much further. So far, the book is reading like a good article that the publisher insisted needed to be padded out to qualify as a book. if nothing else, Leider is the master of paraphrasing, saying the same thing over and over slightly differently. If he has anything of value to say, say it and let's get on with it. There are things to do, places to go and things to do.

Long winded and written as if attempting to indoctrinate you into a cult.
I felt so uplifted when I heard of Emilio Estefan's success; imagine how good your life will be when you can return to your poorer past in a private jet!
Oh, and by the way, none of the url links with the 'tools' to evaluate and improve your life work!

This rather expensive book has very little real content (a couple of pages, at best). Essentially it's an advertisement for the LifeReinvented 'Program' which you can sign up for online. All this book does is tell you how great the program is, give a LOT of anecdotes, and drop the occasional mention of resources you need to work through your options .... none of which are included in the book. I downloaded this on the strength of a useful-looking questionnaire resource that I saw came from LifeReinvented - but none of that appeared in the book. If you're still interested, go straight to their website (apparently 'most' of it is free).
