Half-Life of a Zealot10 reviews
Swanee Hunt
Duke University Press, 2006
A candid rendition of a zelots' life
I am just one-half way through this book but must say, at this point, it is probably one of the "best" books I have ever encountered. The factors contributing to this assessment are readibility, candor, lessons learned that I might use, subject matter and on and on. The author has led an unusual life, not just because she could because of her fortune and fame,but equally because she had the ...

William Martin
Da Capo Press, 2000
Plan on rereading it at least once a year.
Being interested in Eastern religions and philosophies, I've read several translations of the Tao Te Ching, one of which is William Martin's (A Path and a Practice). I was so impressed by this book, that I wanted to read more of his writings. Having recently passed "mid-life," I was especially drawn to The Sage's Tao Te Ching. Mr. Martin's interpretation of this ancient work is sensitive, ...

The Horror of Sobriety
Tim Hall's Half Empty perfectly captures the twilight moments between your last drink (not that long ago) your next drink (not today) and all of the mind-numbingly horrific moments in-between when one has to deal with a lousy job and desperately trying to put up with people who you can tolerate drunk, but would rather kill yourself than talk with a second longer while sober. It's the mundanity of ...

Great first Novel
This is one of those books that I read at one of those moments in life where I just starting to understand myself. And this booked helped. I hold it very close to my heart, and I hope that you will too. Even though I agree with some of the other reviews (about underdeveloped characters) I find that a minor flaw in such an awesome first novel for Ms. J. M.

B&H Publishing Group, 2007
Great start to finding your answers
What a great book to begin understanding the life of pre-retirement and after retirement. This book does a wonderful job of being objective to the many options available. There is no clear cut answer to growing old and decisions should be made once the options are understood. This was fun and enjoyable to read!
