¡@Description
Professionals and business people in midlife are increasingly asking themselves ¡¥what¡¦s next?¡¦ in their careers and personal lives. This book draws on the wisdom of the ages to help today¡¦s men and women plan for a satisfying, useful, moral and meaningful second half of their lives. In his career as a teacher, philosopher and consultant to the leaders of ancient Athens, Aristotle thought long and hard about what it means to lead a ¡¥good life¡¦. Although he formulated his ideas nearly 2500 years ago, the questions he encouraged people to ask are still as relevant as ever.
Bridging philosophy and self help, James O¡¦Toole¡¦s thoughtful and intelligent book shows how happiness is attainable no matter what one¡¦s level of income. By asking the right questions and disciplining ourselves to pursue things that are ¡¥good for us¡¦ we can all create robust and satisfying personal life plans.
