Finding Joy in the Empty Nest: Discover Purpose and Passion in the Next Phase of Life Paperback – May 10, 2022
Purchase options and add-ons
When the kids are gone, you can discover a richer, deeper, and more fulfilling life than you ever imagined!
Whether you've been looking forward to it or dreading it, the experience of coming home to an empty nest brings with it a well of emotions, realizations, and one gigantic, all-consuming thought: Now what? In Finding Joy in the Empty Nest, Jim Burns combines his personal experiences with his expertise as a family educator to help you navigate your new life as an empty nester and find joy in this new season of life.
Rather than offering shallow suggestions of hobbies you should take up, Burns encourages you to actively pursue a fresh start, reinvent yourself, and thrive. Backed by extensive research and filled with interviews with fellow empty nesters, this book equips you with practical advice and timeless principles, teaching you how to:
- Change the relationship you once had with your children for the better
- Face big issues--including aging parents, finances, and kids returning home--with confidence
- Rekindle your fire and purpose to live with passion day by day
Amid Burns' wealth of know-how, you'll uncover what may be the most important takeaway of all: the best is yet to come.
Praise for Finding Joy in the Empty Nest:
"Jim Burns is smart, witty, grounded, and immeasurably practical. Whether you're getting close to the second half of marriage or are in the thick of it, you won't want to miss out on this fantastic book."
--Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott, bestselling authors of Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts

"If you find yourself in the empty nest or getting ready to enter it, there is great advice on every page."There are over 25 million empty nesters just in the United States, who need to read this book. It’s honest, hopeful, and inspiring. In many ways, this is the perfect sequel to Jim Burns’ best-selling book, Doing Life with Your Adult Children: Keep Your Mouth Shut and the Welcome Mat Out. If you find yourself in the empty nest or getting ready to enter it, there is great advice on every page. |
"I highly recommend it!"If you’ll be entering the empty nest soon or if you’re in it right now, buy this book, read it slowly, and do what it says. How I wish it was available when we hit this season . . . I thought it would be a breeze and it was one of the most challenging times in our marriage because I didn’t know what was in this book or have these tools to help us. Whether single or married this book will provide the insight, wisdom, and practical advice for you to flourish when your kids leave home. I highly recommend it! |
"...a wealth of wisdom and encouragement to share with other parents"Having launched my own kids into adulthood, I’m all too familiar with the range of emotions that come when we’re facing an empty nest for the first time. Jim Burns has been through that adjustment, too, and he has a wealth of wisdom and encouragement to share with other parents walking through this unique season. |

I recently finished it and am looking forward to discussing it with Jon. We both long to leave a meaningful legacy and make the most of the time we have left, be it in deepening our relationships, cheerleading our grandchildren, serving our church, or reaching out in different ways to our community. The well-written and enjoyable book has just the right amount of humor as well as thoughtful questions and helpful suggestions to help us find joy and purpose in life. Thank you, Jim!
