Now more than four out of five do. The average life expectancy in America is currently around eighty years-and increasing. This expansion begs the question, what are we to do with a second half of life that could last forty or more years? The additional time makes it inevitable that somewhere between age thirty-five and sixty, many of us will find ourselves at the cusp of a massive (and possibly catastrophic) transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA decade ago, Randy Elrod created a live experience (a rite of passage) called \u003cem\u003eThe Quest\u003c\/em\u003e for people age 35 and over. Since then, he has guided \u003cem\u003eQuest\u003c\/em\u003e experiences in New Mexico and Tennessee with participants from all walks of life. While there is nothing like attending \u003cem\u003eThe Quest\u003c\/em\u003e in person, the hope is that this book will become a well-worn guide map for one's journey into second life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe path of \u003cem\u003eThe Quest\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the fifteen years the author researched this book, ten 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 370\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 15, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45589302018150,"sku":"9780991471584","price":51.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/TzF0MXMxcXhGaC9DVVIrUFRValEzQT09.webp?v=1778007542","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/the-quest-discover-a-way-to-enjoy-the-second-half-of-life-hardcover","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
