May BOOK PICK

JoySpan:

The Art and Science of Thriving in Life’s Second Half

ABOUT THE BOOK

What if aging made your life feel enriched, instead of over? And ready to bring joy, longevity, and step into more life in your years? 

This month’s pick, JoySpan by Dr. Kerry Burnight, centers on the art of thriving in life’s second half. She introduces a powerful and grounding idea: that true longevity is measured not by time, but by how we feel inside our lives. Through the science of well-being and the wisdom of experience, she explores the practices that create a sense of wholeness. She says: Connection, purpose, growth, and meaning are what creates a meaningful life. 

Why we chose it: 

We talk a lot about adding years to our lives. But what about adding life to your years? 

Aging can be intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be.  

What if the second half of your life could be more enriched, joyful, and grounded than the first?
