Synopsis

This book for the Baby Boomer generation by best-sellingauthor, Karen Casey, is an exploration of the benefits of aging, what constitutes a well-lived life and strategies to make the best of the second half of life.

The opening words in the first chapter provide the underlying theme: Breathe pause, breathe pause, breathe. They set the tone for what is to come - taking stock, sitting quietly, stepping aside (instead of into the middle), letting things unfold, acting with deliberation and care.

These brief chapters are meditations that help readers make room for everything in a peaceful, vibrant, well-lived life. Each one is an invitation to contemplate and act. This book is replete with personal stories and quotes and imbued with Casey's own understanding of peaceful living as guided by her 12-step practice, A Course in Miracles, and a daily practice of meditation and prayer.

Casey explores fear and love, resistance and acceptance, willpower and discernment. She brings to the fore what it means to have peace on a daily basis. This is a book to return to again and again and readers will savour each of the 75 meditations and the practices that follow them.

About this title

Review:

"Casey (Change Your Mind and Your Life will Follow) has written a guidebook, based on her 12-step practice A Course in Miracles and daily custom of meditation and prayer, for a life that has accepted its past and is open to future possibilities. Each of Casey's 75 essays on subjects such as conquering anxiety, living in the moment, and changing the world, is followed by a short exercise for self-assessment. VERDICT: Written mainly for the older reader, these inspirational lessons, which would work well as a study group guide, not only invite reflection but encourage readers to improve their own and others' lives." -Library Journal, Starred Review July 1, 2015--Reviews
