Product Description
Changing Course is a how-to book for people who want to change the aging game. It is a practical book that provides a new way to think about and experience life after fifty. Changing Coursedemonstrates that people over fifty can redefine aging and retirement by building a different kind of portfolio, a Third Age Life Portfolio.

When it comes to aging, the future is not what it used to be. An array of new possibilities for people over fifty provides options previous generations simply did not have.

Historically, D words have defined becoming older: difficulty, disengagement, decline, degeneration, and disease. But recent research has been showing how people can set new directions with R words: renewal, reinvention, regeneration, rejuvenation, and redirection.

In Changing Course: Navigating Life After Fifty, William A. Sadler and James H. Krefft present path-breaking discoveries from over twenty years research. With life stories and lessons, they show readers how they too can take charge of their lives to redefine both aging and retirement.

This researched-based book follows the pioneering work of Bill Sadler: The Third Age: Six Principles of Growth and Renewal After Forty (Perseus, 2001).

Research has shown that people with a positive self-identity live an average of seven years longer than those with a negative self-image. People over fifty can reinvent themselves in a positive way by enlarging their life portfolios and embarking on Third Age Careers. People can thus recast retirement as an age of renewal and growth, not deterioration and decline.

Changing Course illustrates the principles for second growth and provides how-to lessons readers can use to change course. Readers can learn how to:

- Make life after fifty the most fulfilling years yet;

- Replace negative stereotypes of aging with positive images;

- Create a positive third age identity that leads to the person you want to become; and,

- Redefine success in terms of what you find personally fulfilling.

Changing Course is not a financial-planning title. Rather, the book addresses people who want to leave their brand on everything they've touched. Many financial-planning guides, especially those pitched to Baby Boomers, miss the point: people are by and large not mainly interested in figuring out how much money they need to retire. They want to figure out how to continue to do their own thing.

What good is it to know to the penny what financial resources you will need to retire if you have not thought through how you are going to spend your life after fifty?

Changing Course is a self-help book for people who want to create a different, better second half of life. Based on twenty years of research tracking innovative individuals, the book provides a positive scenario of new opportunities, as well as challenges that emerge at this time of life.

As part of an emerging international movement that is redefining aging, Changing Course focuses on the Third Age, a long middle period resulting from a longevity revolution that has added an average of thirty years to the life course.

The book shows how people can continue to experience second growth, renewal, and fulfillment into their sixties and seventies. Many books on the second half of life focus only on vital aging in the fourth age (late seventies and beyond).

The bottom-line message of Changing Course: Instead of winding down after fifty, here is how you can change course.

Another "gem" for the "Boomers and Beyond" population
William Sadler, Ph.D. and James Krefft, Ph.D., expand and illustrate the principles of growth and renewal that Sadler presented in his earlier book: The Third Age: 6 Principles of Growth and Renewal After 40. In this current book they provide stories of people in their 50-80's who have successfully made changes and recrafted their lives for a fulfilling "third age" of life. They elaborate and provide lovely examples which illustrate the journey and the paradoxes to be negotiated and they clarify the tasks and challenges for all of us as we create a "third age" life portfolio. I feel it's a "gem" of a book for all preparing for and/or already navigating the "third age" of life. I have recommended it to coaches and clients who have found it insightful and helpful. Sadler and Krefft have given us a very readable book filled with wisdom and guidance for a fulfilling "third age."

Shifting Gears with Aplomb After Fifty
Changing Course is the right book at the right time. While the Boomers are challenging themselves by the question "what's next?" Krefft and Sadler respond to that query with eloquence and inspirational stories from the people they've interviewed. Interesting to me were the focus on building a positive 3rd age identity at this time when we can become more of the person we've always wanted to be, rather than the stereotype of the aging person that our parents' generation became. The authors also design a practical way of accessing our new identity via the Life Portfolio. "What makes your soul sing?" they ask. Discover what puts you in Flow, or in the zone. And "let your flow be like an eagle's wing," spreading out into new and adventurous paths. What a fun way to think about and put into practice the process of getting older!
As a coach who specializes in working with Baby Boomers who want to create a fulfilling next step, Sadler and Krefft's book gives us inspiration with practical steps to get there.

First Rate Way to Change Course
This first-rate book affirms that retirement is a time when conditions are right for new adventures.Sadler and Krefft make retirement appealing, and I'm grateful for their insights.

Deserves all five stars
Midlife crisis? Retirement?

None of the above! This book has inspired me to think of the rest of my life as an opportunity to become the person I should have been.

Clearly organized, extremely well written and full of real-life stories, give this book a good read and see why aging isn't a time to dwindle but a time to discover.

I give Changing Course a deserving five stars!

How to Give Birth to Yourself
First, full disclosure: I know James Krefft. I went to school with him. That's how I was lucky enough to get an advanced copy of this book.

You can read the blurbs and testimonies by other authors and thinkers, but take it from me, the book is truly a guide on how to give birth to your self. To be accurate, I guess I should say "rebirth," but you get the idea. This is a guide on how to start living a new life in a way more practical sense than most self-help psychological texts.

The ideas in this book are a doorway to a refreshing new lived life. There is no wallowing, or hand-wringing allowed in Changing Course.

Read this book. Follow the recommendations. Get a new life, period. ... Read more
