The Next Chapter

The Next Chapter proposes that our lifestyles, homes, and escapes are not places, things, or events but rather mindsets shaped by expectations and priorities we have set for ourselves and our futures. And then The Next Chapter gets right down to providing tools to help mid-life people change those mindsets to create the future they truly want. Through their long careers as realtors, working with clients at important crossroads in their lives, the authors have witnessed the regenerative potential a midlife crisis can bring and discovered that there's a "reboot" option to create a better future. Practical, inspirational, and highly readable, The Next Chapter tackles wide-ranging issues common to those of us in midlife such as: adjusting positively to unexpected financial reverses, identifying personal priorities, coping with loss, creating a "bucket list," choosing a retirement lifestyle, buying a new home, and even keeping one's assets out of the hands of self-serving lawyers in the unfortunate event of a divorce. Through an examination of the foundational building blocks that shape our belief systems, they have devised a system to help you navigate what's ahead on your life's journey. Warm, wise, and empathetic, the authors use "case studies" of people's mid-life stories and a well-constructed system of deep questions and practical steps to help you determine the future you really want and steer your way to it.
