Stuck in Halftime: Reinvesting Your One and Only Life Kindle Edition
Since the release of Halftime in 1994, more than 150,000 people have purchased that book and begun a journey from success to significance.
In a way that no one could have predicted, Halftime started a widespread movement viewing midlife as an opportunity rather than a crisis. It helped men and women between the ages of 35 and 50 realize they may have another thirty years of active, vibrant living ahead of them. And, according to author Buford, retirement is not the optimal option. But now, many of the people who began the journey from success to significance have found themselves sidetracked, stuck in the middle of their transition.
Stuck in Halftime coaches readers how to get past the barriers that stand in their way to maturity and fulfillment. It outlines eight "myths of halftime" and explains the new set of rules for this second half of life's journey. Combining practical guidance with personal stories of people who have become "unstuck," Stuck in Halftime renews the vision and determination of those who heard the "still, small voice of God" calling them to a life of significance.

About the authors
Until its sale in 1999, Bob Buford served as Chairman and CEO of Buford Television, Inc., a family-owned business that started with an ABC affiliate in Tyler, Texas, and grew to a network of cable systems across the US.
In 1995, Buford wrote Halftime, a book that came from his mind and heart on how to find meaning and fulfillment in the second half of life. Those who read Halftime and Game Plan (published in 1997) often ask what Bob is involved in as a result of his own "halftime" experience. His third book, Stuck in Halftime: Reinvesting Your One and Only Life was released in 2001. Finishing Well, a compilation of more than sixty inspiring interviews threaded with Buford's own experiences, was released in 2004. Halftime was updated and released in 2008, along with Beyond Halftime, a collection of Bob's musings on what matters most in moving from gaining success to leaving a legacy.
In 1997, Bob founded Halftime, an organization to help successful people convert their experience and passions into action (www.halftime.org). Halftime's mission is to inspire and equip leaders to achieve maximum leverage and return on the investment of their resources, measured in changed lives and healthier communities.
Bob hosts The Halftime Institute, a 27 hour experience designed to help those who attend accelerate their transition from success to significance. For dates and to register, visit http://www.halftime.org/the-halftime-institute.
Bob is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and of the Owner Managed Program at the Harvard Business School. He has played active roles in Young Presidents' Organization and World Presidents' Organization and served on the board of the Hauser Center for Nonprofit Organizations at Harvard.
