Your Life Calling: Reimagining the Rest of Your Life

Your Life Calling: Reimagining the Rest of Your Life

In this inspirational book, beloved broadcast journalist Jane Pauley helps people in the middle of their lives successfully navigate a â€œreinventionâ€ phase and build a positive, powerful future.

Everyone is talking about â€œreinvention.â€ President Obama used the term nine times in a State of the Union address. Magazines, newspapers, and online blogs frequently devote coverage to the topic. But even though people are ready to reinvent themselves, many simply donâ€™t know where to start. Jane Pauley is here to help.

A familiar face on morning, daytime, and primetime television for more than thirty years, Pauley hosts the award-winning â€œYour Life Callingâ€ segment on the Today show, profiling many remarkable yet relatable people over fifty whose personal reinvention informs and inspires. They include Betsy, a fifty-seven-year-old healthcare executive who left corporate life to make her cherished pastimeâ€”knittingâ€”her full-time occupation. And Paul, fifty-three, who left information technology, where he felt like he â€œmasqueraded as a computer geek for twenty years,â€ built a brick oven in his own backyard, and resolved to open a pizzeria. And did! Gid, a self-described jack-of-all-trades, who admitted to being easily bored, found his calling at sixty-one on the comedy stage, performing in clubs, churches, and on cruises. Gid discovered that Baby Boomers are a lucky generation: â€œThey get a do-over.â€ With insight and wit, Pauley tells her own story as well. Her warm and often funny perspective makes this book a deeply personal, rewarding, and very timely read. Your Life Calling is filled with practical ideas, inspiration, and motivation for anyone who knows the yearning for â€œsomething differentâ€ or â€œsomething more.â€
