new-crp-cover Books

This was formerly published as The Couple's Retirement Puzzle: 10 Must-Have Conversations for Transitioning to the Second Half of Life.

We are in the midst of a "longevity revolution" with more than seventy-eight million baby boomers pioneering a new life stage characterized by living and working longer, developing second or third careers and taking advantage - as never before - of new opportunities for learning and growth. Couples in midlife and beyond are being challenged to redefine retirement and reinvent themselves and their relationships in order to enjoy a sense of meaning, purpose and belonging in the second half of life.

Honoring the Art of Our Lives: An Interview with Alan O'Hare (Volume 1)


Kindle Books

What are you doing with your life's stories? We reach a time in our lives during the third stage when we still envision what we still seek to accomplish or discover, but more of our lives are devoted to reflections about the journey that has brought us to this point. In this interview, Alan C. O'Hare discusses his journey as a community psychologist, university educator, actor, playwright, and director all woven together in his calling and artistry as a "Seanchai/storyteller." These skills are also integrated into being a "curator" who highlights moments from a person's life that can be honored through the art of a story, a journal, a performance piece, music, dance, or visual art form. His model can also be adapted to the life journey of a family, clan, community, or culture.
