The Power of Purpose: Find Meaning, Live Longer, Better
Summary
Purpose is fundamental and gives life meaning. It gives us the will not just to live but to live long and well. In this new edition of his best-selling classic, legendary personal coach Richard Leider offers brand-new tools and techniques for unlocking it. The third edition has been completely revised and updated. In addition to new stories, examples, and resources, it features four new chapters. "Purpose Across the Ages" looks at how purpose can evolve during our lives. "The 24-Hour Purpose Retreat" includes seven mind-opening questions to help you unlock your purpose. "The Purpose Checkup" offers a new tool for periodically evaluating the health of your purpose. And in "Can Science Explain Purpose?", we learn what researchers are discovering about how an increased sense of purpose can improve our health, healing, happiness, longevity, and productivity. Purpose is an active expression of our values and our compassion for others - it makes us want to get up in the morning and add value to the world. Leider details a graceful, practical, and ultimately spiritual process for making it central to your life. This revitalized guide will help you integrate it into everything you do.

Something to Live For: Finding Your Way in the Second Half of Life
Summary
Drawing on ancient and contemporary wisdom, as well as modern research, Richard Leider and David Shapiro provide insightful ways of thinking and being that help us find meaning and purpose in the second half of life. This deeply reflective book uses a safari (referencing a trip the authors took to Africa in 2006) as a metaphor to show how the second half of life can be a journey of discovery. In what may be their most personal book to date, Leider and Shapiro share dozens of moving stories, from both their own experiences and those of their safari companions, that offer sometimes surprising examples of lives well-lived, lives that exemplify the qualities of authenticity and wholeheartedness that they believe are essential to finding meaning and purpose in the second half of life. There are many pathways to putting our whole selves into life, especially during the second half, and in Something to Live For, Leider and Shapiro explore many routes to vital aging.
