Meaning Making: Learning to Be Human Halfway through Life

This is a book for people who have done some living . . . People who have won some and lost some, climbed a few mountains, and crossed a few valleys. People who are sure about a few things and a lot less sure about everything else. People who realize that being alive is not the same as actually living. Meaning Making is for those who have laughed and cried and loved and lost and are now staring down the decades that remain, wondering how to ensure they don’t miss out on the exquisite chaos of the here and now. No one is broken, everyone is worthy of being known, and we’re all a collection of complex, beautiful messes. These are the core truths that drive this gritty and authentic book forward. It’s about becoming fully human, one moment at a time—no matter what age you are. This is not memoir or self-help. Chris acknowledges he doesn’t have all the answers (or many at all). He doesn’t offer five-step action plans, earth-shattering advice, or a promise to change your life. Instead, he shares seemingly ordinary anecdotes, mundane moments that become formative life lessons—but only if we choose to make meaning from them. Vulnerable, heartfelt, and relatable, Meaning Making is about Chris’s commitment to embracing the second half of life—and inviting you to do the same. — ASIN: B0D15476H5 | ISBN13: 9798891380776 | ISBN-13: 979-8891380776
