Author Bob Buford called them "code breakers". They are people age 40 and older who have pioneered the art of finishing well in these modern times, and who can teach us to do the same, starting today. Buford sought out 60 of these trailblazers - including Peter Drucker, Roger Staubach, Jim Collins, Ken Blanchard, and Dallas Willard - and has recorded their lively conversations in this audiobook so that they can serve as "mentors" for all of us.

"Twenty years from now," Buford writes, "the rules for this second adulthood as a productive season of life may be better known. But for now, we're out across the frontier breaking new ground".

Buford gives you a chance to sit at the feet of these pioneers and learn the art of finishing well so you can shift into a far more fulfilling life now, no matter your age, and pursue a lasting significance that will be a legacy for future generations.

I think Bob Buford must have been passed on before I ever heard his name or read Drucker and Me, the story of a friendship. He has taught me much, and I recommend his mentorship to you, in this and his other volumes.

After SUCCESS comes SIGNIFICANCE ... but how?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 9, 2018

Verified Purchase

I accept the premise that the first semester of life is all about success (fast-track career, raising kids, getting kids through college, personal achievement, validation, and recognition, etc) and that the second semester should be all about significance (how we participate in the investments that God has made in us during our first semester). I recognize that my work is not my own but a gift from God to be used for His Kingdom, but the transition from Life I to Life II is not so easy. There are many hurdles, and many paths, and the Holy Spirit is sometimes silent. This book is best studied after a read (or two) of HALFTIME. If you are curious about multiplying your blessings and passing them on as part of your legacy, these two books will help to get your head pointed in the right direction. PS. I wish that it spent more time on the "You're old, you have great skills, but what do I do with you" reality.

Highly recommend this book for all in mid-life and beyond. It is a great retirement gift, packed with wisdom and insights from many who lived their lives to the fullest. Don’t retire, refire and make a glorious impact in the world in the final quarter of your life. FINISHING WELL

The best of Burford's books

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 23, 2020

Not every personal history will resonate with every reader equally, and the author felt the need here and there to make the affluent reader comfortable by name checking people and places they would identify with, but this is a valuable book. I really recommend it.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is inspirational, filled with ways a variety of industry leaders, men and women of influence became filled with the spirit of service to others once they had fulfilled their initial mission here on earth. Every man and woman has a calling on their life yet some never hear it or if having heard it, never answer that call. Finishing Well details how some have done it and made huge, positive impact on numerous lives.

This book was highly recommended to me at a continuing education seminar too. Ordered it immediately and reading it now. I'm in this situation now and there are some interesting thoughts that I'm trying to put into my particular situation.

Es war genau das Richtige zur richtigen Zeit! Endlich habe ich Kategorien, um die Mitte des Lebens zu interpretieren! Buford hilft wirklich mit all den Interviews in einer sehr thematischen Struktur.
