Product description

From the Back Cover

Is there life after success?

"One of the most common characteristics of a person nearing the end of the first half (of the game of life) is that unquenchable desire to move from success to significance."

Bob Buford believes the second half of your life can be better than the first. Much better. But first, you need time to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life.

In Halftime, Bob focuses on this important time of transition--the time when, as he says, a person pauses to consider what will make their remaining years rich and meaningful.

As Buford explains, "My passion is to inspire business and professional leaders to embrace God’s calling and move from success to significance."

To help people at midlife to embark on their "personal renaissance," Buford lifts up the important questions we need to ask:
What am I really good at?
What do I want to do?
What is most important to me?
What do I want to be remembered for?
If my life were absolutely perfect, what would it look like?

Buford fills Halftime with a blend of personal insight, true-life examples, and hit-the-nail-on-the-head quotes from men who have successfully navigated the exhilarating and potentially dangerous shoals of midlife.

The real test of a man is not when he plays the role that he wants for himself, but when he plays the role destiny has for him.--Vaclav Havel

The thing to understand is myself, to see what God really wishes me to do . . . to find the idea for which I can live and die.--SØren Kierkegaard

Midlife. Halftime. It doesn’t need to be a time of crisis; it can be a catalyst. Bob Buford provides the encouragement and insight to propel your life on a new course away from mere success to true significance--and the best years of your life. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

About the Author

In his second half, Buford founded Halftime, an organization designed to inspire business and professional leaders to embrace God's calling and move from success to significance.

By Robert Morris TOP 100 REVIEWER on 17 Mar. 2009
Format: Audio CD
Note: The review that follows is of the updater and revised edition just published.

I recently re-read two of Bob Buford's books: this one of a book first published in 1995 as well as of Beyond Halftime: Practical Wisdom for Your Second Half (2008). (I correctly assumed that it would be best to read them in that sequence.) Understandably, there are some repetitions throughout the two volumes because most of Buford's core concepts are articles of faith and he takes full advantage of every appropriate opportunity to reaffirm them. However, over the years he has revised and updated the material in new editions as his own life experiences have indicated the need to do so. In this volume, he explains how to change a game plan's objective from success to significance. Immediately, in the Preface, he establishes a rapport with his reader that he sustains throughout the book. As Buford explains, he reached a point in his life when he realized the need to change his "game plan" after having arrived at what, invoking another sports metaphor, he viewed as the "halftime" of his own life.

Buford urges his reader to keep a journal while reading this book, recording daily developments (e.g. thoughts, feelings, experiences, questions, concerns) on a regular basis, then reviewing them. I think that is an excellent suggestion, a process that I wish I had begun in my childhood and continued since then. He

The updated and expanded edition has two Forewords, one written by Jim Collins and a reprint of one written by Peter Drucker that appeared in the first edition. Their respect and affection for Buford are obvious and abundant as they explain why they and so many others hold him in such high regard.

Great and inspiring book which has really got me thinking and challenged. The author is clearly an extremely successful businessman and this can make some of his stories about other top business people hard to relate to. Also there is a baseball analogy on about page 35 which is impenetrable to non Americans (although to be fair no worse than non- Anglophiles trying to understand the lbw law in cricket!), I would urge all who struggle with these elements to stick with it - this book has a lot to say and is well worth the read.
