Finishing Well: The Adventure of Life Beyond Halftime
Bob Buford identifies them as "code breakers"—pioneers age 40 and older who have mastered the art of finishing well in modern times. This book brings together conversations with 60 trailblazers who serve as mentors in print, offering practical wisdom for navigating life's second half with purpose and significance.
Learn From 60 Pioneering Leaders
Buford sought out accomplished individuals including Peter Drucker, Roger Staubach, Jim Collins, Ken Blanchard, and Dallas Willard. Their recorded conversations provide actionable insights for anyone seeking to shift into a more fulfilling life, regardless of current age. These leaders share their experiences breaking new ground in what Buford calls "second adulthood as a productive season of life."
Practical Guidance for Life After Halftime
"Twenty years from now, the rules for this second adulthood as a productive season of life may be better known. But for now, we're out across the frontier breaking new ground," Buford writes. This book provides a roadmap for that frontier, helping readers pursue lasting significance and create a legacy for future generations.
From the Founder of Halftime Institute
Bob Buford built a successful cable television company in his first half of life. In his second half, he founded the Halftime Institute, an organization designed to teach, coach, and connect marketplace leaders to discover God's calling in their lives. He also started Leadership Network, which seeks to accelerate the emergence of effective churches by identifying, connecting, and resourcing innovative church leaders.
This paperback edition offers readers the opportunity to sit at the feet of these pioneers and learn practical strategies for finishing well. The book addresses the unique challenges and opportunities that come with life after 40, providing a framework for making the second half of life more meaningful than the first.
