Tens of millions of baby boomers are entering a period of their lives between midlife and the onset of true old age. For most, this period will not only be a new stage of life, but also of work. I wrote this book to provide a vision of hope—not only for their own fulfillment, but for a nation where a full quarter of the population will soon be over sixty. It is a vision drawn from interviews with hundreds of people in their fifties and sixties in search of a calling in the second half of life. These conversations left me with the sense that I was glimpsing something of historic proportions—that this is what it must have been like to travel the country in the late 1960s and early 1970s interviewing women breaking through to new roles at work, in the process changing the nature of work for everyone. |
