This is a guide to reinventing your life. A second act can mean changing careers, moving to a more desirable part of the country (or world), starting a business, or dropping everything to pursue a life dream, whether it's writing a novel, adopting a child, or traveling the world with a backpack and fishing pole. Your guide, Stephen Pollan, knows first-hand about second acts, as he has reinvented his own life several times over.
"Stephen Pollan has been a wise and knowledgeable guide in my own second act; he also happens to be my father-in-law, and his counsel and encouragement helped me convert my own fear and uncertainty into optimism and enthusiasm for continued personal growth. I am confident he can do the same for you." — Michael J. Fox
"Second Acts teaches how to achieve what others think or say is impossible."
— Christopher Reeve
"The rest of your life need not be the same. You can have a second act, and Stephen M. Pollan shows you how." — Joan Lunden
