Claiming Your Place at the Fire: Living the Second Half of Your Life on Purpose

A practical guide to living your later years with wisdom and purpose, featuring inspiring stories and thought-provoking exercises.

When we claim our place at the fire, we enter into the circle of vital elders who have been the source of wisdom in society since time immemorial. We do this by courageously reexamining and rediscovering who we are, where we belong, what we care about, and what our life's purpose is.

Claiming Your Place at the Fire invites you to approach the second half of your life as an empty canvas, ready to be filled with a new and vibrant sense of purpose. It shows you how to stoke the wisdom you’ve gained to burn more brightly to light the way for yourself and others. Through stories and exercises, you will learn to look at yourself with new eyes and answer four key questions: 

Who am I?  
Where do I belong? 
What do I care about?
and What is my purpose
