From Strength to Strength by Arthur C. Brooks

Many of us assume that the more successful we are, the less susceptible we become to the sense of professional and social irrelevance that often accompanies aging. But the truth is, the greater our achievements and our attachment to them, the more we notice our decline and the more painful it is when it occurs.

What can we do, starting now, to make our older years a time of happiness, purpose, and, yes, success?

At the height of his career at 50, Arthur Brooks embarked on a seven-year journey to discover how to transform his future from disappointment over waning abilities into an opportunity for progress. From Strength to Strength is the result, a practical roadmap for the rest of your life. Based on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, eastern wisdom, and dozens of interviews with everyday men and women, Brooks shows us that true life success is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain priorities and habits that anyone can learn, such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection, service to others, and spiritual progress, we can set ourselves up for increased happiness.

A friend recommended this book to me, and I must say it was very thought-provoking. If you listen to or read it, you, too, can understand concepts that will help you go from strength to strength.
