Second Wind

By Dr Bill Thomas

How do you know that you’re outgrowing adulthood?

An interesting question and one of many which author Dr Bill Thomas attempts to answer in his book “Second Wind’. Second Wind illuminates how to recognise and navigate the most challenging and fulfilling developmental stage of life – life beyond adulthood. Life can and should be re-imagined New ways of living and working are waiting to be discovered on the far side of adulthood.

How are you going to know that you are outgrowing adulthood?

When you begin to feel that the life you have been living is out of balance; when the need to perform, to hurry, and to acquire is no longer compelling.

In this book, Dr. Bill Thomas explains that a new life phase is beginning to emerge within our society. When the Baby Boom generation came of age in the 1960s and 1970s, they jump-started a cultural revolution that shaped today’s society. Now, many feel that they are living a life of frenzied disharmony. This out-of-balance feeling is a signal that you are ready for your second coming af age, your life beyond adulthood. Second Wind illuminates how to recognise and navigate the most challenging and fulfilling developmental stage of life.

Predicting that Boomers will choose the path of the Denialist, the Realist, or the Enthusiast, Dr. Thomas discusses the behaviours and attitudes that will provide new and more nourishing fuel for the rest of life’s journey: hope and a renewed sense of all that is possible.

“He’ll challenge the way you think about the future. And you’ll want to make the journey with him.” – Jane Pauley, author of Your Life Calling
