About this title: Renowned sociologist Dr. Lawrence-Lightfoot challenges the still-prevailing and anachronistic images of aging by documenting and revealing the ways in which the years between 50 and 75--the third chapter--may, in fact, be the most transformative and generative time in a person's life.

"If you are "around fifty" and wondering where to go from here...this is an excellent read. The gist is people who have spent their whole lives doing "A" (doctor, lawyer, professor, business person), have decided to turn to a whole new direction, and the challenges and exhiliration that come with the decision.And...you can do it too."
"I liked the concept and some of the stories were inspirational. However, this book covers a very small and specific demographic of the over 50 population. The subjects that were interviewed were all in a very stable financial position which allowed them a lot of flexibility to reinvent themselves in their third chapter of life. I would like to see how those without that financial advantage make the transition into their third chapter."
"Alright, why did I read this book at 30-years old? I heard an interview with the author on NPR, was very impressed, and thought I could gain some wisdom from this book. It was a well written book, and the beginning was very interesting (be patient, be thoughtful, etc), but the book dragged a bit for me as it went on. Maybe I'm not the target demographic . . ."
"Most if the good stuff here was in the end - discussion about the whole notion of "lesiure communities" for elders and how weird that segregated model is for society as a whole. But I did enjoy the author when she joined Bill Moyers on his JOURNAL."
