Midlife Dreamers in the Wind: Strategies for Manifesting a Freedom Lifestyle with More Adventure, Purpose, and Passion

Authors Eric Hicks and Liz LaRocque are forging new paths for their lives, and with their book Midlife Dreamers in the Wind: Strategies for Manifesting a Freedom Lifestyle with More Adventure, Purpose, and Passion, they show others how to get what they want out of the second and third acts of life.

Gone are the days of sedentary retirement late in life. People are starting new careers working in a location-independent manner as freelancers, entrepreneurs, and investors; taking on new adventures such as world travel and immersing themselves in diverse cultures; and pursuing passionate causes through volunteerism and social entrepreneurship. Traditional retirement in today’s economy is either no longer practical or unwanted—either way, Hicks and LaRocque say people should, and can, live their dreams. Midlife Dreamers in the Wind shares steps to letting go of possessions, leveraging opportunities, and creating multiple streams of income enabling people to enjoy freer and more meaningful lifestyles. Strategies to help readers move from where they are to where they want to be are discussed, including a discussion on the transformational nature of tourism.
