The Next Chapter: Change The Mindset - Change Your Life

The Next Chapter proposes that our lifestyles, homes, and escapes are not places, things, or events but rather mindsets shaped by expectations and priorities we have set for ourselves and our futures. And then The Next Chapter gets right down to providing tools to help mid-life people change those mindsets to create the future they truly want.

Through their long careers as realtors, working with clients at important crossroads in their lives, the authors have witnessed the regenerative potential a midlife crisis can bring and discovered that there's a "reboot" option to create a better future. Practical, inspirational, and highly readable, The Next Chapter tackles wide-ranging issues common to those of us in midlife such as: adjusting positively to unexpected financial reverses, identifying personal priorities, coping with loss, creating a "bucket list," choosing a retirement lifestyle, buying a new home, and even keeping one's assets out of the hands of self-serving lawyers in the unfortunate event of a divorce.

Through an examination of the foundational building blocks that shape our belief systems, they have devised a system to help you navigate what's ahead on your life's journey. Warm, wise, and empathetic, the authors use "case studies" of people's mid-life stories and a well-constructed system of deep questions and practical steps to help you determine the future you really want and steer your way to it.

Robert Miller and Monika Lowry have almost sixty years of experience as realtors between them and have engaged in thousands of hours of conversation with clients at pivotal moments in their lives. Through listening attentively, they began to parse what people were experiencing midlife, and now they bring the shared wisdom of their own and their clients' life experience to this book. Married for more than thirty years, Monika and Robert are not only business partners but life partners and soul mates too. They live in Barrie, Ontario and have traveled to all continents...except Antarctica, which is a little too cold for their taste. Individually and together they have moved over twenty times, giving them an abundance of personal experience to complement the wisdom they have garnered from their client conversations over the years.
