Product Description
Nowadays people in their 40s and 50s--the revolutionary generation of the 1960s and 1970s--are not walking quietly into their sunset years. In THINKING ABOUT TOMORROW, Susan Crandell, a prominent journalist who describes her own self-rediscovery at 52, surveys the possibilities open to her readers in such areas as travel, work, family, and health. In the process she provides vivid profiles of dozens of men and women who have remade their lives in fascinating ways. The book offers guidance to midlifers who yearn for a more fulfilling life, and includes a valuable list of resources including books, magazines, organizations, and related Web sites that will motivate and enable readers to embrace the promise of their middle years with a renewed sense of optimism and vigor.

 Thinking About Tomorrow: Reventing Yourself at Midlife February 27, 2007

This was a nice book with great stories to provoke one to think about the possibilities at Midlife. While most of the stories were of value, they were stories of those that had a comfortable amount of savings/retirement built up enabling them to make these moves. Certainly, it is desirable to be at that point in ones life where they can afford to stop having a level of income and make the changes that are described in this book.
A worthy set of stories for those who are financially comfortable.

Susan Crandell's Thinking About Tomorrow is essential reading for anyone who has ever thought, "There's gotta be something more." Crandell found 45 real-life heroes--all over 40--who stopped worrying about what other people thought long enough to discover their hearts' desires, and re-engineer their lives.
Some of her heroes are offbeat (a man who found the courage to become a woman, a fitness instructor who turned into a professional Celine Dion impersonator), some predictable (the couple who had a baby in their 50s, the businessman who dropped out to start another business), and some are just plain passionate (like the hair colorist who has turned himself into a true Iron Man). But in each story, Crandell really nails the essence of what makes some of us ripe for reinvention, and how to smooth away the bumps on life's new path. After reading this, I'll never call those turning points anything as dreary as "midlife crises" again.

A very quick and interesting read into reinventing yourself after age 50. A must read for anyone facing the age old question...What do I really want to do when I grow up.

I loved reading this book; it is the only nonfictional work that I have had trouble putting down. I was with my wife shopping after I bought it and looked forward to her going into stores, so that I could continue my reading.

Can't decide which is more memorable: the extraordinary life stories of mid-life re-tooling and re-commitment to life and self (including the author's own), or the author's narrative thread: full of useful data, wise synthesis and uplifting commentary. A must for anyone approaching or just saying good-by to mid-life, however YOU define it.
