โœฆ Synopsis

Bob Buford

Y ou are probably going to live a whole adult lifetime that wasn't available to your parents and grandparents. Their life expectancy at birth was 50 years. We have two lifetimes now. Life I is what occurs before halftime, and Life II comes afterwards. Most people have a pretty good plan for Life I, but few can see their way forward into Life II.

Halftime is the in-between season that occurs at about age 45, plus or minus a few years. It's the time I described in my first book, Halftime-the season of "now what?" In our time, halftime really marks the end of Life I and the beginning of this whole new second adult season that I've identified as Life II. Halftime used to be the beginning of the end. Now it is the beginning of a whole new beginning: a season that for me and many others has turned out to be the richest and most meaning-filled season of all.

Peter Drucker once told me, "The strongest insight you had in Halftime was that there is more than one lifetime."
