I just watched a video clip on this amazing woman:
Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, one of America's leading educators and author of THE THIRD CHAPTER: PASSION, RISK, AND ADVENTURE IN THE 25 YEARS AFTER 50. Lawrence-Lightfoot envisions a much needed cultural shift in our attitudes toward youth and age. About 76 million Americans are now in what Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot has dubbed "the third chapter" of life.
"All of us at this point, to some degree, are on a search for meaningfulness, for purposefulness. And we want to find what this next 25 years, this penultimate chapter of our life, is going to be about. And we're ready for something new. For a new experience. For a new adventure. And I think all of us, to some degree, experience some burnout. Burnout is about boredom. And so, I think in some ways this is about sort of moving beyond the boredom to compose, to invent and reinvent the path that we're on.”
I’m headed to Barnes and Noble to get her book.
