This week on Thursday, February 10, 2022, 4:00PM to 5:00PM EST, I will be interviewing Darrell Gurney.

We will be discussing his new book: The Back Forty: 7 Essential Embraces to Launch Life’s Radical Second Half

In a pandemic-stricken era when many aspects of personal and professional life are up for grabs, grabbing a copy of The Back Forty might be the best insurance you can find for a more purposeful and joyful experience of life ahead.

What if your entire life this far has simply been R & D—just research and development—for the bigger game you have yet to play? What if nothing in your past was wasted and your life was actually timed and organized for exactly this moment? What if the only start that matters is the one you make now? You are never who you “are” or who you’ve been. You are who you’re becoming.

Are you entering or leaving midlife and you’re not sure where to go? Discover a step-by-step path designed to help you make the most of your second half of life.

The Back Forty is both timely and intimately helpful, serving as a trustworthy guide for a powerful midlife makeover. Its spirited message of rejuvenation and inspiration transforms any prevailing personal resignation into momentum toward a fulfilling next phase of life: not only guaranteed but perfectly timed by your own design.

A Back Forty “setup” Interview

What's a Back Forty "setup" interview? It's the answer to the question: How did your first half of life set you up perfectly for your second half/best half of life, to be who you came here to be and do what you came here to do?
