The number one New York Times bestseller

"In this book, Arthur C. Brooks helps people find greater happiness as they age and change." - The Dalai Lama

"This book is amazing." - Chris Evans

"A valuable guide." - Daily Mail

From the bestselling author and columnist behind The Atlantic's popular "How to Build a Life" series, this guide transforms the life changes we fear into a source of strength.

In the first half of life, ambitious strivers embrace a simple formula for success in work and life: focus single-mindedly, work tirelessly, sacrifice personally, and climb the ladder relentlessly.

It works. Until it doesn't.

The second half of life is governed by different rules. In middle age, many strivers find success becoming harder to achieve, rewards less satisfying, and family relationships deteriorating. In response, they double down on work in an attempt to outrun decline and weakness, denying the changes that are becoming increasingly obvious. The result is often anger, fear, and disappointment at a time in life that they imagined would be full of joy, fulfillment, and pride.

It doesn't have to be that way. In "From Strength to Strength," happiness expert and bestselling author Arthur C. Brooks reveals a path to overcoming the "striver's curse." Drawing on science, classical philosophy, theology, and history, he shares counterintuitive strategies for releasing old habits and forming new life practices, showing you how to:

- Kick the habits of workaholism, success addiction, and self-objectification
- Meditate on death in order to overcome fear and live well
- Start a spiritual adventure
- Embrace weakness in a way that turns it into strength

Change in your life is inevitable, but suffering is not. "From Strength to Strength" shows you how to accept the gifts of the second half of life with grace, joy, and ever-deepening purpose.
