Embracing Wisdom: Soaring in the Second Half of Life

Here is a handbook for accessing the secrets of the second half of life. In the first half of life, we strive, work, achieve, compete, and accumulate. Will we do this until we die? Because we live in a world that worships youth-often disparaging aging (and our elders)-we have little imagination for embracing the possibilities that aging offers. Based upon the pioneering work of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, Embracing Wisdom: Soaring in the Second Half of Life (Revised Edition) presents aging as an opportunity on the frontier of human development, an opportunity to complete life successfully and leave a legacy of wisdom to future generations.
