Second Half Success: Build Meaning Later in Life

di Celeste Rowan (Autore)

epubli, 2026

For years, success might have meant climbing, achieving, proving yourself. But somewhere in midlife or beyond, the rules shift. The career peaks feel less urgent, the external markers of achievement lose their grip, and the question becomes: what does success even mean now? This book examines the psychological transition that happens when traditional definitions of success no longer resonate. It explores the disorientation of reaching a point where you're supposed to have "made it," yet feeling unmoored or quietly uncertain about what comes next. It looks at the pressure to remain productive, the fear of irrelevance, and the cultural messaging that treats the second half of life as a slow decline rather than a different kind of unfolding. Through compassionate insight, it invites readers to reconsider meaning-making not as something to achieve, but as something to build from the inside out. It examines the tension between legacy and presence, between what you've accomplished and who you're becoming, between staying relevant and allowing yourself to simply be enough. Rather than prescribing a new version of ambition or offering steps to "reinvent yourself," it opens space to explore what emerges when you stop measuring your worth by external metrics. It looks at the relief of letting go of old expectations, the wisdom that comes from having lived through complexity, and the possibility that the second half might hold more depth and freedom than the first. For anyone navigating the shift from proving to being, questioning what success means beyond career and status, or searching for purpose that feels genuinely their own.
