Halftime

by Bob Buford

A cable executive's book on the midlife shift from success to significance: taking stock at halftime, deciding what is in the box, and designing a second half of service. It is written from a Christian perspective, is short and has prompted many midlife career changes.

CLICK TO SEE

Read it if…

you are at midlife, successful and wondering what it was for.

Skip it if…

you are not at midlife or are put off by faith language.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Success is the first half; significance is the second.
  2. Take a real halftime; do not drift into the second half.
  3. Find a cause bigger than yourself.

Do this first

Write what is in your box: the one thing that matters most for the second half.

Our verdict

Short and prompting.
