Synopsis

Your Second to Last Chapter
(the time in life after children
are raised and careers are
winding down) offers you a chance to
follow the voice in you that is deeper
than any religious belief or spiritual
path. It is calling you to find new
meaning in your life by choosing on
your own terms and in your own
way a project, a cause, a mission for
which your unique talents and life
experiences have prepared you. Paul
Wilkes will be your guide on this
journey, with compelling examples
(including his own), specific suggestions,
and plenty of encouragement. You
cannot summon this voice. You can only
welcome it by giving it the room to enter
your life and then listening to what it is
saying to you.
