Overview

In Variations on Life After 50, author Jill Timmons provides a new road map for those entering the middle stages of their lives, melding simultaneously the conscious experience of liminal "in-between" space with building an authentically joyous life of meaning, purpose, and legacy. By challenging the traditional notions of what it means to enter midlife, this heartfelt and heavily researched book shows that creativity is the key to fully engaging with a soulful life in a time of loss and change. Timmons, an award-winning performance artist and midlife coach, works with clients to discover new models of opportunity later in life. Here, too, she shows that it is through creativity that we discover a way forward and answer the Soul's call for greater authenticity. Combining compelling studies on aging and art with riveting true-life stories, her own personal journey, practical exercises, and replicable strategies, Variations on Life After 50 offers a daring model for a dynamic and soulful third act of life. Through 30 "variations" modeled on the movements of a grand symphony, readers will:

  • Make peace with loss
  • Move through transitory periods with newfound excitement
  • Express gratitude and reclaim power
  • Discover their creative calling
  • Lay the groundwork of a meaningful legacy

While many baby boomers have been told to work, work, work for the goal of piling up money in order to then enter some sort of retirement "golden years" geared to leisure, most of Timmons' clients, on the other hand, report wanting a more interconnected and purposeful third act of life. Variations on Life After 50 is a map for those seeking the call of adventure both intrinsically and out in the world.
