Straight talk from a successful entrepreneur and experienced counselor who teaches Fortune 500 executives how to find deeper meaning and purpose in their lives. Park the Ferrari! This is not a book about the male mid-life crisis. Instead, it is an exploration of the shift in focus a man experiences as he progresses into the more mature years of his life. Learn what it means to be an older man in our culture, and what physical and psychological changes to expect as you move into your second half century of life. Find meaning through spiritual exploration. Develop depth by reinvesting in your intimate relationships and community. Without being preachy or abstract, this book gives practical advice about dealing with crises of identity, mortality, and belonging. The crux of the book is based on teaching men how to give meaning to their lives, find self-directed and community driven purpose in their activities, and develop their spiritual side. The tone of the book is upbeat and wise. The TOC immediately draws the reader in, with such clever phrases as Bones, Groans, and Hormones, Moving from Success to Significance, Being an Adult Son and Mature Father, and Moving from Aging to Saging.
