Richard J. Leider and David A. Shapiro
Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Old?
The Path of Purposeful Aging
Berrett-Koehler, 2021
Aperçu
Connect with your spiritual and life purpose to embrace your latter years.
Recommendation
Purpose pioneers Richard J. Leider and David A. Shapiro discuss aging with the understanding that confronting the challenges and inevitability of getting old keeps you productive and fulfilled in your later years. They warn of the dangers of living a “default” life, drifting from one day to the next – a surefire path to dissatisfaction. They provide a framework for “purposeful aging”: a foundation of self-exploration, intentional choices and service to others.
