From Strength to Strength

Finding Success, Happiness, and Deep Purpose in the Second Half of Life
Book • 2024
In 'From Strength to Strength', Arthur C. Brooks addresses the inevitable decline in abilities that comes with aging and provides a practical guide on how to transform this period into an opportunity for growth.

Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and eastern wisdom, as well as interviews with everyday men and women, Brooks advocates for refocusing on priorities such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection and service to others, and spiritual progress.

He argues that by adapting our expectations and focusing on these areas, we can achieve increased happiness and purpose in our later years.
