Description
This book is designed to convey the observations of an individual who has recently navigated the seas of the 80s and is encamped on the shores of the 90s – a fourth quarter personal experiential summary.
It combines four essential life factors: physical, mental, social, and spiritual into a conceptual framework of meaningful accomplishments. The text is written from the perspective of a layman, not a clinician or doctor.
It features approximately 45 suggested activities that offer the reader an opportunity to live a purposeful life of continued exploration rather than withdraw from the world at large and simply rest on his/her memories.

His theory is based on the concept of living a purposeful life through an active, positive lifestyle. This lifestyle consists of being actively involved with ongoing projects
