The Third Chapter

Passion, Risk, and Adventure in the 25 Years After 50

Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot

Explore the transformative and generative "third chapter" of life, when we are "neither young nor old," and learn how this period of creative reinvention can inspire individual growth and cultural transformation. Renowned sociologist Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot challenges outdated views of aging and offers passionate stories of risk, vulnerability, resilience, and new learning. Without being a how-to guide, The Third Chapter is a fascinating work of sociology that captures a new moment in history and offers insight and hope for our endless capacity for change and growth.

I love the humanity of Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot. While this book is nearly 12 years old, it captures some of the vulnerability & bewilderment that people over 50 felt during the Great Recession that might be even further amplified by these pandemic times.      source
