You are invited to join a unique opportunity with Richard Leider: a book club with conversations with the author.
The next best thing to reading a book that impacts your life is getting a chance to talk with the author about the areas you highlighted, the notes you made in the margins, or the questions in your mind and heart.
What will we do?
Richard will kick off the Book Group, join us periodically, and join us again for the final session.
We will explore questions and comments about how the concepts in each chapter are playing out or have played out in your life.
What is the focus?
Grow old on purpose. This book invites readers to navigate a purposeful path from adulthood to elderhood with choice, curiosity, and courage.
Everyone is getting old; not everyone is growing old. But the path of purposeful aging is accessible to all—and it’s fundamental to health, happiness, and longevity.
With a focus on growing whole through developing a sense of purpose in later life, Who Do You Want to Be When You Grow Old? celebrates the experience of aging with inspiring stories, real-world practices, and provocative questions. Framed by a long conversation between two old friends, the book reconceives aging as a liberating experience that enables us to become more authentically the person we always meant to be with each passing year.
In their bestseller Repacking Your Bags, Richard J. Leider and David A. Shapiro defined the good life as “living in the place you belong, with people you love, doing the right work, on purpose.” This book builds on that definition to offer a purposeful path for living well while aging well.
Why Purpose Matters
“Purpose is our aim to live a life that is meaningful and makes a positive contribution to the world.”— Richard Leider
Living purposefully is fundamental to having a meaningful, fulfilling life. New research is emerging that reveals how important it is to define and unlock our own purpose in life. Studies show that purpose can improve your physical health, lengthen your life, and, make you happier. Mattering matters.
The Path of Purposeful Aging is not for older people, it’s for all of us.
