Author Bob Buford called them 'code breakers'. They are people age 40 and older who have pioneered the art of finishing well in these modern times, and who can teach us to do the same, starting today. Buford sought out 60 of these trailblazers---including Peter Drucker, Roger Staubach, Jim Collins, Ken Blanchard and Dallas Willard---and has recorded their lively conversations in these pages so that they can serve as 'mentors in print' for all of us.
'Twenty years from now,' Buford writes, 'the rules for this second adulthood as a productive season of life may be better known. But for now, we're out across the frontier breaking new ground.' Buford gives you a chance to sit at the feet of these pioneers and learn from them about Finishing Well so that you may shift into a far more fulfilling life now, no matter your age. A life of significance that will be a legacy for future generations too.

Since the release of Halftime in 1994, more than 150,000 people have purchased the book and begun a journey from success to significance. In a way that no one could have predicted, this book has started a widespread movement that views midlife as an opportunity rather than a crisis. It helped men and women between the ages of 35-50 realize that they have at least another thirty years of active, vibrant living ahead of them and that retirement is not the optimal option. But now, readers feel stuck. More than eighty percent of people who began the journey got sidetracked. Now they want to know how to get "unstuck." Stuck in Halftime is written for the person who is trying to successfully make it through the midlife journey of "half time." It shows readers how to get past the barriers that stand in the way. It outlines eight "myths of half time" that distract people trying to move from success to significance. It also explains the new rules of this journey, since the old rules of the first half do not work anymore. And it uses stories of those who were stuck in a similar way to illustrate ways to become unstuck. This book is of enormous help to those who heard the "still, small voice of God" calling them to a life of significance. It is a book of encouragement, hope, and practical guidance.
