The book reads as a trusted friend giving you advice on how to set and achieve career goals in the "second half" of your career. As an executive search recruiter, the author has seen thousands of data points of people making the transition to the second half of their careers. He has seen what leads to success, and what does not. The reader can greatly benefit from his accumulated wisdom, which in a sense is a "big data analytics" approach to finding success and personal happiness in one's career beyond the age of 50.The author understands how the system of large companies works. Graduates from top universities are lured into those companies in their youth, and are able to flourish for decades. As time goes on and the funnel narrows, middle-aged workers are often left in unfulfilling roles - or in the worst case (and not uncommonly) being dismissed on account of their age (which is a proxy for how much money they make relative to their younger peers). The author also understands that as a worker proceeds further into their career, if left unchecked career options can and will narrow - leading to frustration, dis-satisfaaction, underachievement, and lower economics - whereas in reality, and with planning, a career can and should flourish in the latter half.The reader will benefit from Reynold's accumulated wisdom, which includes a methodology for to develop a plan to make the most of the rest of your career. This involves creating a vision,understanding your values, developing a mission statement, and a strategy to achieve it. Reynold encourages the reader to think of their careers in terms of portfolio theory, and to reinvent themselves in five-year cycles. And he gives helpful guidelines and tactics on how to be successful.
