Critics Review
In this book, Arthur C. Brooks helps people find greater happiness as they age and change.
– The Dalai LamaA valuable guide to finding new purpose and success in later life. * Daily Mail *This book is amazing. We’ve all read it cover to cover. We couldn’t put it down. – Chris EvansBrooks has amassed vast research on happiness… and filled the book with explanations and theories about brain function and its ups and downs through time. * The Independent *To the overachievers, success addicts, and tired strivers who are fairly confident you can’t keep it up forever but will try anyway - this book is for you. Arthur Brooks shows you it’s possible to build a life that really does get better with age.
– Simon Sinek, optimist and author of Start with Why and The Infinite GameArthur Brooks is one of my very favorite thinkers. Witty, wise, and insatiably curious, he is one of the few intellectuals who can reliably weave scientific research and everyday observations into what we all really need: succinct advice for a good life.
– Angela Duckworth, founder and CEO of Character Lab and author of GritFrom Strength to Strength offers real answers to timeless questions about happiness and progress: How can I be happier? How can I have more meaning in life? What is the most important thing to me right now and why?
– Eric Schmidt, former chairman and CEO of GoogleIn this sparkling book, Arthur Brooks considers one of the oldest and deepest questions in the spiritual tradition, namely, how to navigate the tricky waters that separate the first and second halves of life. I found inspiration and hope literally on every page.
– Bishop Robert Barron, founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries and auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Los AngelesBrooks appears to have a clear strategy here: first he horrifies you, then he bucks you up. An alternate title for this book could be The Good News About Your Inevitable Decline. Most of us strivers believe we can keep racing until we run out of road. Arthur is trying to save us pain and maximize our contributions to the species. Every ambitious person should read this.
– Dan Harris, author and former ABC News anchorFrom Strength to Strength is a wise and inspiring guide to reimagining the rest of your life. If you’re a striver tired of striving, this remarkable book is for you.
– Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive, When, and A Whole New MindAbout The Author
