The roadmap for finding purpose meaning and success as we age from bestselling author
Harvard professor and the Atlantic's happiness columnist Arthur Brooks. Many of us assume that

occurs. What can we do starting now to make our older years a time of happiness purpose and

waning abilities into an opportunity for progress. From Strength to Strength is the result a
practical roadmap for the rest of your life. Drawing on social science philosophy biography
theology and eastern wisdom as well as dozens of interviews with everyday men and women
Brooks shows us that true life success is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain
priorities and habits that anyone can learn such as deep wisdom detachment from empty rewards
connection and service to others and spiritual progress we can set ourselves up for increased
happiness. Read this book and you too can go from strength to strength.
