About the Book
What does it mean to build a fulfilling life as we move into its second half?
In From Strength to Strength, Harvard professor and bestselling author Arthur C. Brooks explores how we can navigate the changes that come with aging—not by clinging to what we were once able to do, but by recognizing new sources of success, purpose, happiness, and meaning.
Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and Eastern wisdom, Brooks offers a practical roadmap for turning the second half of life into a period of continued growth and deeper fulfillment. The book explores the power of wisdom, connection, service, and shifting our focus from external achievement toward the things that matter most.
