Maybe a career they've always dreamed of or just something more fulfilling. "Repurpose Your Career: A Practical Guide for Baby Boomers "shows that change is possible. It requires a strategy and a series of practical steps including: Study yourself to understand your core needs in a way you probably never did with your first career. Like what kinds of rewards do you prefer? What kind of boss do you work best with? How much physical activity do you need? How do you like to make decisions? What are your needs not only for money but for time and freedom? Strategically network with people in the field you're interested in to find out what the job is really like. Develop a statement about what kind of job you're looking that covers all your core needs. Build a tribe of people who can help you make your transition, including introducing you to others connected in the field. Work on your skill set including using LinkedIn and other social media effectively. Negotiate for what you want, beginning with items that have more to do with your quality of life than money. Repurpose Your Career not only gives practical, step-by-step advice for how to make a successful transition, but deals with the challenging issues of having to ask for help from others and having to become the novice again after years of working to become an expert. If you're looking to find a career that meets your needs and you can grow into for the next 20 years, this book is the roadmap you're looking for.

From Simple But Not Easy "For over seventy years the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous has offered alcoholics a solution to their chronic, progressive, and fatal illness. This solution cannot be found in fighting or quitting or any other human effort." "Many people abstain from alcohol for months, even years, by going to meetings, reciting the steps, and exchanging complaints about their lives with other abstinent people. For these people 'not drinking' is their only goal. But abstinence is only the beginning of recovery." "It is the Program of Action, particularly Steps 4 through 9, that brings about a spiritual awakening and recovery." "This small book offers newcomers, sponsors, and even long-time members of the AA Fellowship a new tool to identify and understand the basic principles of the Big Book.
