“To the overachievers, success addicts, and tired strivers who are
fairly confident you can’t keep it up forever but will try
anyway—this book is for you. Arthur Brooks shows you it’s possible
to build a life that really does get better with age.” —Simon
Sinek, optimist and author of Start with Why and The Infinite
Game
“From Strength to Strength is a wise and inspiring guide to
reimagining the rest of your life. If you’re a striver tired of
striving, this remarkable book is for you.” —Daniel H. Pink, author
of Drive, When, and A Whole New Mind
“Brooks appears to have a clear strategy here: first he horrifies
you, then he bucks you up. An alternate title for this book could
be The Good News About Your Inevitable Decline. Most of us strivers
believe we can keep racing until we run out of road. Arthur is
trying to save us pain and maximize our contributions to the
species. Every ambitious person should read this.” —Dan Harris,
author and former ABC News anchor
“Arthur Brooks is one of my very favorite thinkers. Witty, wise,
and insatiably curious, he is one of the few intellectuals who can
reliably weave scientific research and everyday observations into
what we all really need: succinct advice for a good life.” —Angela
Duckworth, founder and CEO of Character Lab and author of Grit
“In this sparkling book, Arthur Brooks considers one of the oldest
and deepest questions in the spiritual tradition, namely, how to
navigate the tricky waters that separate the first and second
halves of life. I found inspiration and hope literally on
every page.” —Bishop Robert Barron, founder of Word on Fire
Catholic Ministries and auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Los
Angeles
“From Strength to Strength offers real answers to timeless
questions about happiness and progress: How can I be happier? How
can I have more meaning in life? What is the most important thing
to me right now and why?” —Eric Schmidt, former chairman and CEO of
Google
