SOMETHING TO LIVE FOR: FINDING YOUR WAY IN THE SECOND HALF OF LIFE
With David Shapiro, Berrett-Koeher, 2008
Drawing on ancient and contemporary wisdom, as well as modern research, Richard Leider and David
Shapiro provide insightful ways of thinking and being that help us find meaning and purpose in the
second half of life. This deeply reflective book uses a safari (referencing a trip the authors
took to Africa in 2006) as a metaphor to show how the second half of life can be a journey of
discovery. In what may be their most personal book to date, Leider and Shapiro share dozens of moving
stories, from both their own experiences and those of their safari companions, that offer sometimes
surprising examples of lives well-lived, lives that exemplify the qualities of authenticity and
wholeheartedness that they believe are essential to finding meaning and purpose in the second half of life.
