Overview

Getting older is most inconvenient--But it beats the alternative From hiking the 2200 miles of the Appalachian Trail, teaching patients how to be human, providing ways to keep the mind and body healthy, creating books, photography, art and music, starting a new, new career as a sought-after model, leading an international movement to redefine aging, participating in a firefight with Taliban insurgents--all beyond the age of 50. So Much Left is full of these and other people's stories who are rewriting the rules for what it means to live the second half of life. While the entire world is getting older, more than 55 percent of all Americans are beyond 50 and many refuse to fade away into the sunset. We aren't aging like our parents and grandparents, and bucket list adventures and projects mean everything from changing careers, creating film, art, music, photography, books and more to learning foreign languages to travelling to scale mountains, dive the oceans or jump out of perfectly good airplanes. So Much Left offers physical, mental emotional and spiritual insight and suggestions for those redefining what it means to fully live in wherever you believe the second half of life begins. The ideas that time matters, you can make your dreams come true if you are willing to take action to realize them and finally that love really is the answer resonates with my two, 20-something sons and friends that I have who are even younger. Yes, many of them recognize the truth that getting older is most inconvenient-even considering those reasons differ at different ages. How one reacts to the inconvenience is also very personal. Do I set out on that bucket list adventure? Do I keep working or retire? Do I change careers? How do I redefine myself? How do I make my relationship better? How do I get a new relationship? How do I deal with illness? Loss of loved ones? Death? How do I keep myself mentally, physically and spiritually fit? How do I unlock that creative need inside myself? How can I give something back? One thing for certain is that there are now more people in America dealing with these and similar questions than ever before in our history. More than 55 percent of all Americans are more than 50 years old. If you are one of these people, you have spent an entire lifetime chased by marketers selling eternal youth. By 50, the wiser among us wouldn't go back to their 20s, if there was just some way to slow it down a little bit. The older members of this group came of age being told to never trust anyone over 30. Now these same people proudly proclaim 60 to be the new 40. So Much Left is a must read--inspirational and full of insight and strategy to make evey day count. .
