This book gives you the five minutes a day you need to start it on purpose. One page, one quote, one reflection at a time. Voices of women and men from across the centuries: ancient philosophers, modern writers, people history forgot, and a ...

For twenty-six years, Eleanor Winsley wrote obituaries for a living. Eleven column inches per life taught her one uncomfortable fact: nobody is remembered for what they postponed. The dead are celebrated for what they began. The living, meanwhile, describe themselves in the past tense at fifty. The Restart Effect is her witty, science-backed manual for beginning again at 40, 50, 60 and beyond, built on a distinction most of us were never shown: starting over destroys, but starting again keeps everything you have learned and clears only what jams the machine. Inside, a simple three-move ...

When Ada Calhoun found herself in the throes of a midlife crisis, she thought that she had no right to complain. She was married with children and a good career. So why did she feel miserable? And why did it seem that other Generation X women were miserable, too? Calhoun decided to find some answers. She looked into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw a pattern: sandwiched between the Boomers and Millennials, Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age, problems that were being largely overlooked.

That shape no longer fits the people reaching this stage today, healthier, more capable, and often with decades of active life still ahead, and yet the conversation about what comes after a long career has barely caught up. The Next Chapter Playbook is the clear eyed guide that has been missing from that gap. This is not a financial planning manual, and it is not another vague call to "find your passion." It is a structured, practical walk through the questions that actually determine whether this ...
