Product Description
The second half of life is a journey into unknown territory--a safari like the one that inspired this deeply renewing and inspiring book. Drawing upon ancient wisdom and modern research for guidance, Richard Leider and David Shapiro invite you on a journey back to the primordial rhythms--back to a time and place where we are better able to clarify for ourselves what really matters in our lives. They share stories from their own lives and of others facing midlife and beyond, stories that exemplify the qualities of authenticity and wholeheartedness that are the essential components of vital aging. And they offer up positive practices that can help us save and savor the world: live an authentic life of purpose and meaning while balancing our lives with vitality and joy.

Saving and Savoring the world-what a concept! July 6, 2008
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
Most of us have bookshelves weighed down with all kinds of personal development and self help books-I do!
Most of the ones for midlife tend to be around health and wealth issues....will we have enough of both? Often the answers are scarcity driven, not giving us much hope for a positive aging experience.
This is the very best one I've read that gives us the GPS or road map to midlife and beyond. What a great job Richard and David have done to provide the readers with practical principles AND lots of inspiring stories of others who are living the good life in their second half of life. Millions of us are embarking on this journey -much of it unknown territory. Until now.
Richard and David show us the way to find and use our unique gifts and talents so this second half of life becomes a rich and satisfying time of our lives.
Imagine living this time of your life, savoring and saving the world: living an authentic life of purpose and meaning, while creating a life of vitality and joy! If you are interested in creating this vision for yourself in the second half of your life then you must read this book. I have NEVER underlined and marked a book up this much before. I found that much wisdom woven through each page. Let's start the conversation of redefining "positive aging" in the second half of our lives.
