Moving from Success to Significance

De: Bob P. Buford, "An Invigorating Challenge" Jim Collins Author of Good to Great - introduction

Narrado por: Max Bloomquist

Your midlife doesn't have to be a crisis. In fact, the second half of your life can be better than the first. Let bestselling author Bob Buford show you how.

What do you want to do with the rest of your life?

In Halftime, Buford provides encouragement and insight to propel your life on a new course to true significance--and the best years of your life. Buford focuses on this important time of transition to the second half of your life, giving you the tools you need to:

• Take stock of your successes and accomplishments thus far
• Redefine significance and what it means to you
• Identify your personal goals
• Develop a mission for serving God in the second half of your life

This updated and expanded 20th anniversary edition of Halftime also includes questions for reflection at the end of each chapter, brand new stories of men and women enjoying a second half of significance, and specific halftime assignments to guide you into your second-half mission.

Praise for Halftime:

"According to Bob Buford, the first half of life is a quest for success; the second is a quest for significance. Bob should know; he has achieved the first and is showing us the latter. You'll find this book to be unique, inspiring, and practical. Read it and finish strong!"

--Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author

"This book is for successful people who want more fulfillment in their lives and realize it won't come from the next victory, the next sale, the next conquest, or significant increase in their bottom line. Let Bob Buford be your guide to make sure your best years are ahead of you."

--Ken Blanchard, bestselling coauthor of The One-Minute Manager

great book

This is such a great reminder to consider half time even at a young age like me ,34

Great guide to a better finish

Loved the book and the path it’s helped me develop. Using it in my life and giving it to friends for mapping out their journey

A valuable point overstated

The idea of the book is good, it’s just overstated. The contents of the book could’ve been a pamphlet rather than a book. It’s just the classic, “Find something bigger than yourself to live for the second half of your life.” I appreciate the emphasis on serving God, but I think the content could have addressed various ages who might be looking to live a life, focused for Christ, even while in the hustle of those younger years. It’s a good book for businessman, but not so good for people in ministry who have literally devoted their life to a bigger purpose as an occupation. After reading the book, I wonder if we should divide it into halves or if quarters would be more helpful.

Legit

This book is a legit resource for people to read before they finish their first half and their productive life as they consider next steps. I would love to see Mr. Buford spend some time going through cases for people who don’t have ample resources as they enter the half time which I feel is likely more than 50%

Interesting concepts and great questions on your search for the second half of life

I enjoyed the way it was written with his history mixed with concepts from others, but a bit too religious for me.
