Love in the Second Act


Book Description

Inspiring stories of individuals—aged 46 to 97—who experienced a resurgence of passion in their lives when they least expected it. F. Scott Fitzgerald believed there are no second acts in American lives. Yet at least as far as love is concerned, the statistics indicate otherwise. These days, more and more people are falling in love and embarking on deep and fulfilling romantic relationships in the later part of their lives. At a time when the specter of spending one's final years alone can seem only slightly less intimidating than Internet dating, the subjects profiled in this book tossed their hearts up in the air with the hope that love just might spring eternal. And just how different is the game at age seventy-five than it was at age twenty-five? This book forms an engaging meditation on the ways that love itself alters and matures as we grow older. Organized around the distinct and often surprising themes that emerged from Gold's conversations with lovers from all walks of life—love suddenly appearing out of the shadows following a determination to find it at whatever cost; second-act relationships that represent 180-degree turns for the parties involved; a sense of finally coming home to the one you were meant to be with in the final stages of life—Love in the Second Act will remind anyone, young or old, that the quest for love is never-ending.

Second Act Soul Calls


Book Description

The Baby Boom generation, all 78 million of them, is hitting or has already hit, that all-important phase of human development, the midlife passage. This passage is often fraught with challenges, discontent and a feeling of diminishing possibilities, but this generation, unlike their parents, has been given the gift of extra time. In many cases this generation will live up to thirty years longer than any other generation before them. What to do with this time is the focus of the book, Second Act Soul Calls Your Guide to the Re-Invention of Your Life at Midlife and Beyond with Passion, Purpose, and Possibilities. Both practical and pragmatic but also spiritual and soulful, this book will change your life if you listen to the call of your soul and take its challenges to heart. Lorraine Banfield, a psychotherapist, career counselor and life coach writes the perfect book to help you negotiate this time of life. Banfield s thesis is that midlife and beyond is a time of life ripe for hearing the call of your soul and reinventing your life in a way that meets both the needs and desires of your soul but which also contributes in some way to the greater good. The book is written in four parts, each with unique tasks and challenges. The first part asks you to take some time to enter the mysteries of the soul by taking some time out alone to listen for that still small voice that knows the way to a new and invigorating life. The second part is on taking stock of your gifts and talents by taking a journey back to your childhood to see what your ten-year-old self loved, hated and what got you into trouble, but also by looking at what you love to do now and what you also hate doing. The third part is on the obstacles and dragons you will face in terms of truly reinventing your life. The last part is about manifesting your soul s call. In this part she talks about redefining retirement to one of engagement in productive work, whether paid or unpaid. She calls this re-invention planning rather than retirement planning. She also encourages her readers to make sure that what they call a soul call also contributes to the greater good rather than simply contributing to their own personal good as she sees this as a win-win for both the individual and the planet. Banfield ends her book with eighteen strategies for putting your soul s call into practice.
