[Hot Deal] Halftime: Changing Your Game Plan from Success to Significance – Save 80%

Halftime: Changing Your Game Plan from Success to Significance by Bob P. Buford

Bob Buford believes the second half of your life can be better than the first. Much better. But first, you need time to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life. So he recommends that a reader call ‘halftime’ to reflect not only on where he’s going, but why.

In Halftime, Buford focuses on this important time of transition – the time when, as he says, a person moves beyond the first half of the game of life. It’s halftime, a time of revitalization and for catching new vision for living the second, most rewarding half of life.

Buford fills Halftime with a blend of personal insight, true-life examples, and quotes from those who have successfully navigated the exhilarating and potentially dangerous shoals of midlife. Complete with a discussion guide, Halftime provides the encouragement and wisdom to propel your life on a new course away from mere success to true significance – and the best years of your life.
