INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The roadmap for finding purpose, meaning, and success as we age, from bestselling author, Harvard professor, and the Atlantic's happiness columnist Arthur Brooks.

Many of us assume that the more successful we are, the less susceptible we become to the sense of professional and social irrelevance that often accompanies aging. But the truth is, the greater our achievements and our attachment to them, the more we notice our decline, and the more painful it is when it occurs.

What can we do, starting now, to make our older years a time of happiness, purpose, and yes, success?

At the height of his career at the age of 50, Arthur Brooks embarked on a seven-year journey to discover how to transform his future from one of disappointment over waning abilities into an opportunity for progress. From Strength to Strength is the result, a practical roadmap for the rest of your life.

Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and eastern wisdom, as well as dozens of interviews with everyday men and women, Brooks shows us that true life success is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain priorities and habits that anyone can learn, such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection and service to others, and spiritual progress, we can set ourselves up for increased happiness.

Listen to this book and you, too, can go from strength to strength.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“To the overachievers, success addicts, and tired strivers who are fairly confident you can’t keep it up forever but will try anyway—this book is for you. Arthur Brooks shows you it’s possible to build a life that really does get better with age.”—Simon Sinek, optimist and author of Start with Why and The Infinite Game

“From Strength to Strength is a wise and inspiring guide to reimagining the rest of your life. If you’re a striver tired of striving, this remarkable book is for you.”—Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive, When, and A Whole New Mind

“Brooks appears to have a clear strategy here: first he horrifies you, then he bucks you up. An alternate title for this book could be The Good News About Your Inevitable Decline. Most of us strivers believe we can keep racing until we run out of road. Arthur is trying to save us pain and maximize our contributions to the species. Every ambitious person should read this.”—Dan Harris, author and former ABC News anchor

I enjoyed this book very much and will listen to it several times. It’s the kind of book where I wish I had a paper copy and a highlighter pen. It is relevant to me in my 70’s since I am a late bloomer in many ways. I love it when writers do their research in order for me to have a lightbulb moment:)

Enlightening look at aging

This is akin to "the second Mountain" where it's about recalibrating what success means to you after you have accomplished your initial goals, or @ least..... gotten far enough towards said goals that you realize they aren't going to 'keep' you fulfilled.

Embrace the change of crystalized vs fluid intelligence. Embrace the fact that you know the marshmallow test and could pass it anyday. Embrace the fact that you.....are......not too old to change NOW!

Should be required reading for Professionals > 40

This book was really powerful. A mix of philosophy and career advice. Kind of geared to those in their 40s and 50s, but I would have found it very useful early 20s even.

I have been self-employed for over 20 years, and in recent years, I have seen indications of what the author refers to as a decrease in liquid intelligence. This book is very well written, and enjoyable to listen to. However, the reality of the subject matter is a bit painful. I am grateful that I have been introduced to these concepts and I feel this book will help me navigate my transition into other fields where I can utilize my strengthening crystallized intelligence.

Painful, but necessary

In the last 12 months my focus in life and work had shifted, but was unsure why or what to make of it. After reading this book I feel confident that I’m transitioning from fluid to crystallized intelligence and am excited to embrace it rather than be uncertain of my next steps.

Happy to have found this at 40
