From strength to strength : finding success, happiness, and deep purpose in the second half of life / Arthur C. Brooks.

Brooks, Arthur C., 1964- (author.).

Summary:

"Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and eastern wisdom, as well as dozens of interviews with everyday men and women, Brooks shows us that true life success is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain priorities and habits that anyone can learn, such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection and service to others, and spiritual progress, we can set ourselves up for increased happiness." --Provided by publisher.
