Seventy-five million baby boomers are finding themselves bound by habits and pursuits instigated many years ago - and for a large percentage of those boomers, significant aspects of their lives no longer satisfy. But by joining revolutionary insight to highly proprietary prescriptive advice, The Hourglass Solution provides a proactive and pragmatic way to lead a better life after 50. Johnson and Forman evaluate the life narrative through the lens of an hourglass - proposing that those in early adulthood are at the top of the hourglass, able to select from many options, while those in middle age are in the hourglass's neck, constrained by the choices they made earlier in their lives. The Hourglass Solution explains how those approaching their fifties (and beyond) can still find a wealth of opportunity by recognizing and pursuing new directions, free from the restrictions imposed by an earlier choice. Like Gail Sheehy's Passages before it, The Hourglass Solution will enlighten and inspire a generation of readers to regain control over their lives and well-being.

Desperate, Sharon flees to Seattle with her five-year-old son, David. After assuming the identity of "Janice Young," a woman who died in a suspicious fire years before, Sharon's fresh start is shattered when she begins receiving death threats -- taunting phone calls that mock her every move. Tired of running, and with David ill, Sharon is determined to fight. But she can't be certain if her husband has caught up with her, or if someone is after Janice Young -- a murderer who, this time, will make sure Janice does not survive.

Many people start to change something about themselves without doing a deep analysis of their life, without being able to get a big picture, and without this picture, the change can only be superficial and short-lived. To learn what performance is and to reach performance we need to learn from the best, from those who have already walked this path and who have the experience and the power to do it. Not everyone can give advice and not all advice is good and suits us, that's why we need to know how to choose from the amount of information in a given field the ones that suit us, the ones that will help us at first to start and make tasks easier, ending up doing the hard part of the tasks. Just like building a jigsaw puzzle, we start with the corner pieces, continue with the side pieces and then fit the middle pieces. If we do things right then the supposedly hard part becomes easy. It's one thing to place the puzzle pieces without any logic, trying to fit what you think the picture would look like but without taking your bearings, and another to have a plan that you apply gradually until the last piece is placed and you form the complete picture. With the help of setting and achieving goals, you will be successful and in this way, you will be able to gain the respect of those around you. You will succeed in becoming an example and your actions will motivate and inspire them. Those who succeed enjoy the appreciation or, why not, the envy of those around them. But no one, no matter how they choose to look at you, can take away the credit you have earned. Often success is a transitory state; you can transition from failure to success and back to failure, or you can evolve from a moment of success to other moments of success. Success is nothing more than consistently setting goals and achieving them.
