Claiming Your Place at the Fire: Living the Second Half of Your Life On Purpose presents a new paradigm of successful aging for men and women entering into and moving through the second half of their lives

Through an exploration of key concepts like purpose and renewal, and by drawing upon the timeless metaphor of fire, it enables readers to become what the authors call "new elders"―individuals who realize the power that comes with true wisdom and who accept the deep responsibility to share that wisdom for the benefit of their loved ones, their communities, and the world at large; to do so is what authors Leider and Shapiro mean by "claiming your place at the fire."

Richard J. Leider is a founding partner of The Inventure Group, a coaching and consulting firm in Minneapolis. A National Certified Career Coach, he has been helping people to discover their life's purpose for more than thirty years.
David A. Shapiro is Education Director of the Northwest Center for Philosophy for Children, a non¬profit organization that brings philosophy and philosophers into the lives of young people through literature, philosophical works, and group activities.
Together Leider and Shapiro have coauthored the bestselling books Repacking Your Bags and Whistle While You Work.
