What I liked was the wisdom inherent in coaching a move from personal success to more general significance. Good probing questions, realistic portrayal of barriars and speed bumbs and some helpful things to think about. Written from a caring Christian point of view, After a while , the increasingly Christian context, though well intentioned , is a barriar to connecting to non- Christian readers.

Since this book was written in 2001 our economy has changed. I'm not sure if one's second half will begin as early as once hoped. That said, I'm not ready to think about MY second half yet, but when I do I may want to revisit this author - perhaps for something more relevant to our current economy.
