With more than 70 million in the U.S. alone, baby boomers are the largest demographic on the planet. Many, however, find themselves bound by habits and pursuits that they no longer find satisfying. Feeling trapped and void of choices, baby boomers are looking for new paths to fulfillment and meaning. Addressing these needs, The Hourglass Solution identifies new and vibrant ways to get "unstuck." By redefining their choices, baby boomers can achieve a sense of renewal and greater purpose.

Both motivating and prescriptive, The Hourglass Solution suggests a new way of thinking about choices in life and how mid-life can be a time of renewal and expanded choices rather than a time of restrictions and the status quo. Identifying ways to get life "unstuck," The Hourglass Solution guides the reader through the process of redefining choices for the second half of his or her life.
