The Second Half of Life Opening the Eight Gates of Wisdom Angeles Arrien 0600835113083 Books Reviews

• Title caught my eye. I am the age when you think about these things and are looking for answers. I read the book very slowly so I could understand what she was saying. I have been questioning a lot of things lately but I have now learned that I am pretty normal. Thank you so very much.
• I took an online class using this book and I learned much from accepting this process of bringing together all the different yet completely related stages of my life. I am glad I bought a hard copy. At 66 years old it is lovely to see the fair young maiden alive and well within me coming out to pick roses, as well as the seasoned wise women navigating husband, family and friends with acceptance and love. If this truly is the second half I am loving the process and my spiritual connection to God. Wish I had known then what I know now but then I would not be where I am would I??
• "The Second Half of Life" can be used for those of us in the iffy third, or even quarter tiny bit of life. I don't know if I have 10 or 20 years left of activity, or time to change my external options. But Angeles also encourages the reader to consider inward change, picking up old ideas and running with them. Or, perhaps, to drop the mask and go through new gates, embracing aging as a time for calming down. Too often we think of goal setting as a call to wild and crazy. I'm reconsidering, and believe it might be to embrace contemplative but just as crazy options.
  
  I give this as a gift for 2nd marriages, 50/60+ birthday gifts, and people facing the changes brought by grief, loss, and retirement. As a therapist and author, I encourage the belief that we can draw wisdom from wise sources.Embracing True Prosperity Guided Visualizations & Practical Tools To Realize Your Deepest Dreams

When it comes time to be a mentor to others, this book will give you easy to follow steps to deepen relationships and purpose. You'll fee wiser and ready to increase your significance to self and others.
• I'll read anything written by Angeles Arrien—she is one of my most profound and appreciated wisdom teachers. This book is a must for anyone over 50. I love her knowledge, understanding and passion for sharing what she knows about ways each one of us can help to bring peace to our world by first bringing it "home" into our minds, hearts and souls.
• A gem for those in the midlife and beyond journey as well as those journeying with them. The book shares insightful cognitive maps on the struggles and gifts at different stages of the journey in a language that's both poetic and mythological.
• Great person with excellent teaching stories. I have attended her seminars also. Her work stays with you. You won't be sorry you listened.
• I am almost through second half of life at 88. My two daughters are starting at 55 and 57. I thought it was valuable enough to have them read it. I have it on my kindle and gave the hard copy to the girls. jean
