<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"As life unfolds, a man's identity is renewed, reviewed, and negotiated: the markers that make him himself at 20 won't be the same at 35, 50, or 70. This book shows readers how to turn toward these changes, to come into their own as older men by reframing the losses of age as strengths and opportunities for growth. Drawing from interviews and meditations, each chapter includes a contemplative Deep Mind Reflection practice to help readers navigate aging and topics like divorce and single living; illness, death, and emotions; relating to partners; health, denial, and substance abuse; retirement and encore careers; and reframing a masculine identity once predicated on strength and virility. For every challenge or difficulty men face as they age, there are positive outcomes and fresh possibilities. This book encompasses the totality: fears and aspirations, new careers and next steps, and spiritual preparation for the final decades of life"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Tools and anecdotes to reframe aging from the bestselling author of <i>Work as a Spiritual Practice</i> and <i>Aging as a Spiritual Practice.</i></b> <p/>Aging is a journey: a decades-long adventure of new opportunities and surprises. For many men, the decline in virility and power that accompanies age can be a tough pill to swallow. When these fall away, how do we make sense of who we are? What does it mean to be a man? <p/>Drawing from research, interviews, and personal stories, <i>Every Breath, New Chances</i> shows readers how to turn toward the changes associated with aging and to reevaluate losses and transitions as new avenues for joy, self-discovery, renewal, and growth. Delving into topics such as divorce, single living, retirement, and encore careers, each chapter includes a contemplative practice called Deep Mind Reflection to help readers navigate the fears and aspirations that come along with changes in relationships and work. This book addresses the more challenging realities associated with illness, substance abuse, and mortality, while empowering readers to compassionately embrace next steps and spiritual preparations for their final decades of life. This book does not proffer tools for staving off an inevitable part of life; rather, it offers frameworks and strategies for peacefully embracing it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>PRAISE FOR <i>EVERY BREATH, NEW CHANCES <p/></i>Make no mistake, this book is not just for men! <i>Every Breath, New Chances</i> is a wise and compassionate companion in the journey of aging. Richmond shares his own experiences of aging and provides Deep Mind Reflection exercises to explore inner feelings and other aspects of aging. He encourages the reader to meet these challenges as a rich opportunity for personal growth and development. For women, Richmond's insights are not only helpful for better understanding those in their life who are facing the fact that they no longer possess the virility, power, and control they once had, but also for understanding the feminine path of aging. This is a must-companion along the way.<br>--DIANE ESHIN RIZZETTO, author of <i>Waking Up to What You Do<br></i><br>This is a book you can trust to guide you as you age! <i>Every Breath, New Chances</i> is rooted in real wisdom and full of heart. It deepens many aspects of growing older and being a man without being too simple or too loud. Richmond really wants you to get more out of life. I'm about to turn eighty, and I feel better for having read it.<br>--THOMAS MOORE, author of <i>Care of the Soul <p/></i>To process the mental and emotional challenges he faced growing older, Lewis Richmond says he wrote the book he needed. That sound writing advice has produced a one-of-a-kind toolkit with insights and practices that show others how to bring alive (and thus gain life-changing wisdom from) the book's profound core message: 'vulnerability is strength.'<br>--PAULA SPENCER SCOTT, author of<i> Surviving Alzheimer's</i> <p/>As my entire generation moves toward its end, I can't think of a more helpful, necessary book. Lewis Richmond offers a calm and systematic framework and practice to help you get the most out of your life right now! Why miss a second of it? Why not learn to love our growing old? This book will help you.<br>--PETER COYOTE, actor, writer, Zen priest, and author of <i>Sleeping Where I Fall</i> <p/><i>Every Breath, New Chances</i> is the first of its kind--an incredibly valuable book on male aging covering all the salient points. I highly recommend it, both for men and the women who care about them.<br>--LAMA PALDEN DROLMA, author of <i>Love on Every Breath<br></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>LEWIS RICHMOND has been a meditation teacher, musician, and software entrepreneur.
