Think of it as the most significant social story of our time: We are witnessing the arrival of a whole new stage of life. Today we're seeing people reach what used to be the ''age of retirement'' and convert it into the ''age of possibilities.'' The authors call it ''Life Reimagined.'' What those two words suggest is a new stage of life and-perhaps more importantly - a new way of thinking about life and living. At its core, Life Reimagined calls on each of us to engage life with a profound sense of what is possible, what is desirable, and what is personally meaningful. One of the profound truths that under lies Life Reimagined is the liberating notion that ''each of us is an experiment of one'': in other words, each of us is free to find our own way forward on this journey of discovery. But another truth is that there is a set of six practices-ways of engaging with Life Reimagined-that can help each of us find that way forward. The six practices are: Reflect, Connect, Explore, Choose, Repack, and, Act. Life Reimagined offers the opportunity for each of us to grow - not just older, but grow more whole, more healthy, and more uniquely ourselves.
