Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Barbara Sher has transformed the lives of millions with her phenomenally successful books, workshops, and television appearances.  Now, in a work that explores and demystifies one of life's most challenging and bewildering passages, she shatters the myth that turns midlife into a crisis and offers a bold new strategy for creating a new life after forty.

Barbara Sher shows you how to rediscover the inspired, enthusiastic adventurer you wanted to be before you became the responsible adult you had to be.  According to Sher, it's never too late to start over.  In fact, midlife is the perfect time to do so, a time when dreams for the future and experiences of the past finally come together.  "The second life," as Sher calls it, can be even better than the first.  More important, it would have been impossible to make these crucial realizations until now.  Discover:

How to make life's built-in "time limit" work for you
Which of your "regrets" can point the way to a more rewarding life
How to identify--and overcome--the illusions that stop you from living your dreams
Dozens of ways to recapture your freedom...  without succumbing to "road fever," trophy-mate collecting, or other midlife maladies.

Combining step-by-step strategies with provocative exercises and motivational techniques, this extraordinary book reminds you of the dreams you abandoned along the path to adulthood, providing all the tools you will need to weave those aspirations into a richly textured, meaningful life.  Beginning with the empowering notion that everyone has a future, Barbara Sher shows you how to turn each of midlife's challenges into a catalyst for dynamic change.  Indeed, no matter what your age, it's only too late--to reclaim your creativity, recapture your long-lost dreams, and embark on an exciting new life--if you don't start right now!

Goodreads review by Christina on March 29, 2020

I'll be turning 45 this year, so about 5 more years until 50. It's hard not to look back and wonder why I haven't already accomplished some of the things that I thought I would have accomplished at this age. It's also hard not to think that some of my dreams are becoming less attainable because I'm......more

This is a fun book for middle-age Seekers who are really tired of waiting for their lives to begin! Barbara says it is never too late unless you don't start now. So start by reading this light-hearted book that keeps the to-do list simple yet wonderfully inspirational. I also don't mind saying I rea......more

I read it’s only too late if You Don’t Start Now in preparation for the February retreat. Barbara Sher. There was a lot of great advice in the book that I was able to use at the retreat. Sher suggests that many of us reach middle life and realize all of a sudden that we’re not immortal. “In other wo......more

I read this first in 2012 and it didn't resonate with me as much, although I loved it. It's because I wasn't even 40 yet back then. I am 42 now and this book has cured me of my midlife crisis and sent me on my way to freedom. Thank you!......more

I was glued to the TV and by the end of the program I felt motivated to take a look at my life/dreams/goals and realizing that the only thing stopping me from pursuing my goals was ME. And......more
