Strength in the Second Half: an online conversation with Arthur Brooks
As one starts to approach middle age (or beyond), how do we think about our vocation and purpose? Should our sense of mission change? What should we do to equip ourselves for a joyful, purposeful, and meaningful second half?
On February 25th, we were delighted to welcome author, behavioral economist, and former American Enterprise Institute (AEI) President Arthur Brooks to discuss the ideas in his latest book Strength to Strength, which weaves together philosophy and research on human flourishing to illuminate the inescapable fact of change as we grow older - and to offer practical guidance on flourishing in new stages of life. Arthur joined us for a conversation exploring how we can integrate connection, service, and spiritual depth to contribute to a meaningful life.
We are grateful to our event sponsor:

This was a nice talk, but comments like Paul being an entrepeneur (ugh) and, the unnecessary need to let us know who is with us as believers and not with us as believers - is revealing of the ugly underbelly of christianity, and it's insecurities. Believe in the one true understanding of god, conveniently the one god as you interpret it...... a cult is one in which our belief system is the only one true belief system....e.g. Opus Dei...... This is where the role of doubt is essential to deeper wisdom.

I agree with you, in that I winced at both the ‘Paul as great entrepreneur’ (?!?) comment and a few of the self-conscious ‘shout outs’ to ‘believers’, too, but found so much to like in so many of his other points that I ended up not caring so much- I’m 64, and am going to do my best to do some good work in my own life around some of his main points
