About this title

From the Back Cover

"This book gives you a simple, practical, and effective way to tap into your unique powers for greater success and happiness." --Brian Tracy, author of Create Your Own Future

"Midlife Tune-Up is the book I always wanted to write. In my midlife, a few years back, I juggled divorce, near bankruptcy, and the death of a loved one. Somehow I happened on a few bits and pieces that helped me pull through that troubling time. You might call what happened a tune-up. Tim's book is so thorough and captivating I am tempted to tune up again. I believe I will." --Stephen C. Lundin, author of the FISH books and Top Performer

"Midlife Tune-Up is a practical, comprehensive, well-written guide for anyone wishing to improve the quality of their life in every major dimension. If you want to make the second half of your life much better than the first, this guide points you in the right direction. Bravo, Tim Burns!" --Michael LeBoeuf, author of Working Smart, The Millionaire in You, and How to Win Customers and Keep Them for Life

"This timely book is truly an inspiration for the male baby boomer. I personally know several men who could use this book on many levels to understand their own personal struggles with life after forty-five: career insecurities and vulnerabilities, relationship issues, and sexuality issues. It is about time men have this type of support available to them. As a woman with a 'baby boomer' husband, I had a hard time putting this book down." --Lucinda Bassett, author of Attacking Anxiety and Depression and Life Without Limits
