It’s not easy being human. We are part of nature and yet apart from it, and we alone among living creatures know that we will die. Most of us spend our lives refusing to look at that fact.
Yet that awareness is the most powerful, least visible force shaping what we want, who we call, and what we forgive! The Dalai Lama captured the paradox: “Men live as if they were never going to die, and die as if they had never lived.” Then, somewhere in the later decades, perspective breaks through. A future that once felt like an open field starts to feel like a hallway.
My new book, Considerations in the Final Third of Life, follows the metaphor of the river. Time flows forward, and by the final third we are within sight of the sea and free for the first time to ask the questions we deferred for forty years. Who are we beneath our roles? What do we do with our regrets? How do we prepare, practically and spiritually, for the years when aging stops whispering and starts to shout?
It’s just as important to live with awareness in the final third as it was to choose a career in the first!

Maximize Your College Experience
Zen and the Art of Navigating College
Statistics show that 2/3rds of college graduates will be in careers unrelated to their major. It’s a challenge discovering who you are when drinking from a firehose in college.
Alternatively, we humans have an insatiable need to find purpose and meaning! Every one of us is on a perpetual quest for meaning! Carl Jung (the grandfather of modern psychiatry) believed that to live a fulfilling life, we must strive to achieve psychological wholeness through a thorough understanding of ourselves. It’s only then that we can discover our life’s purpose.
My book provides a framework for realizing your potential by exploiting college counseling and placement services in combination with personality type evaluations to facilitate broad-based self-examination. It can bring about greater self-knowledge, while unraveling one’s true aptitude and purpose in life.
It’s just as important to discover your true identity as selecting your major!
