The roadmap for finding purpose, meaning, and success as we age, from bestselling author, Harvard professor, and the Atlantic’s happiness columnist, Arthur Brooks.

●Decline is inevitable, but suffering is not. From Strength to Strength addresses a universal dilemma: What can we do now to make our older years a time of happiness and purpose?

●At the height of his career, Arthur Brooks observed that the greater our achievements, the more likely we are to experience the acute pain of professional decline. So he embarked on a seven-year journey to discover how to transform his own future from an impending disappointment into an opportunity for progress.

●In From Strength to Strength, Brooks draws on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and eastern wisdom; he explores the lives of some of the most successful figures in history, from Charles Darwin to Bach; and he conducts dozens of interviews with everyday men and women--some of whom were happy, and many of whom were not. He determined that the secret to growing older lies not in acquiring more, but in stripping things away--that true life success is well within our reach.

●With a rapidly growing podcast and Atlantic column, “How to Build a Life,” Brooks has become a popular authority for advice on how to navigate change, strengthen relationships, and find happiness.
