About this title

Synopsis

Midlife, called by some "the adolescence of adulthood," is known as a time when people implode men do foolish things with their discretionary income and women become "desperate housewives." But you don t have to travel that path. Midlife can also be a very productive time of life a time to develop true character and to acquire the virtue of goodness. The author takes a direct and intelligent approach to revealing the key to pursuing authentic character at midlife, which is to be good for goodness sake. Written in a conversational tone, Fenton offers seven values that lead to authentic character.
