For many, finding meaning in the second half of life can feel like a challenge when so many of life’s more notable accomplishments happen in the first half. The world and our biology urge us to relentlessly chase after the next win. This flawed formula for satisfaction ultimately leaves us unfulfilled. To find true purpose, we must break our addiction to success and confront life’s hard truths. In this episode, Cathleen speaks to Arthur Brooks, a prolific author and social scientist. At the height of his career at the age of 50, Arthur embarked on a seven-year journey to discover how to transform his future from one of disappointment over waning abilities into an opportunity for progress. Drawing on social science, philosophy, biography, theology, and eastern wisdom, as well as dozens of interviews with everyday men and women, Brooks shows us that true life success is well within our reach. By refocusing on certain priorities and habits that anyone can learn, such as deep wisdom, detachment from empty rewards, connection and service to others, and spiritual progress, we can set ourselves up for increased happiness.

As people age, the dynamics of a family invariably change. In the last decades of life, parents often cede decision-making to adult children who take over the reins of bill-paying, medical appointments, medication management, and living arrangements. But what happens when a senior doesn’t have children? How do you plan your retirement differently? What new choices are there now that did not exist in the past, and how do you navigate and understand what your options are? In this episode, Cathleen is joined by Carol Marak, who discusses why solo agers need to start preparing for aging as early as possible, and which important aspects are typically forgotten when planning for retirement. Carol also highlights some of the ways in which the Boomer generation is changing the world of aging.
