When one chapter is finished and the next one has yet to be written we wonder, “What’s next?” For many it happens in midlife, but it can happen at any point. It’s a time full of enormous potential, a whole new phase of life. It’s called Life Reimagined .
Here is your GPS. You’ll be inspired by the stories of ordinary people who have reimagined their lives in extraordinary ways and by the pioneers of the Life Reimagined movement such as Jane Pauley, James Brown, Emilio Estefan, and Chris Gardner. Use the powerful set of tools, practices, and insights-enhanced online at AARP’s Life Reimagined website-to help you uncover your own special gifts, connect with people who can support you, and try out new possibilities.
Life Reimagined says that each of us is an experiment of one. No old rules, no outdated societal norms, no boundaries of convention or expectation. Life Reimagined is more than a new phase of life-it’s a mindset, a movement, and a moment of possibility that we are all living in.
