Autumn is a time of bright colors and full harvest moons; a time to reap and savor what we\u2019ve sown. Our autumn years are the ideal time to reexamine our lives. Often spurred on by a 50th birthday or the last child leaving home, it becomes important to question who we are in the larger scheme of things, to wonder what we really want from our lives. Finding Meaning, Facing Fears invites us to explore the many opportunities this time of life presents: opportunities to stretch in our capacities, to face and conquer old demons, and to meet new challenges with greater resources than were available to us before.
Dr. Shapiro helps us discover which alternatives will serve best in our relationships, career, even spiritual quests, and offers answers to the inevitable questions we face as we get older, such as: \u201cIs that all there is?\u201d \u201cIs it too late to change my life?\u201d \u201cWhere do I go from here?\u201d and, \u201cI\u2019ve got everything I thought I wanted; why aren\u2019t I happy?\u201d
