In A Better Second Half, Liz Earle shows us how to future-proof our health in midlife and beyond using evidence-based techniques, ideas and wisdom accumulated over her years of experience in the wellbeing arena. We all know that midlife women are often hit the hardest of all health-wise, sandwiched between bringing up our families, juggling work and caring for ailing parents, and it is all too easy to lose sight of ourselves. But whatever stage or age you are there is hope and many ways to take back control of your health - physical, mental and emotional - and make yourself a priority rather than bottom of the to-do list. Liz Earle sorts the fads from the fiction in wellbeing and breaks through the noise that surrounds all the online advice that can overwhelm us. She has taken this mission to heart with her empowering new book A BETTER SECOND HALF. Part a retrospective of her life and part a brilliant, distillation of self-help, Liz puts forward what we need to do to live well and age well through midlife and beyond. Never shy of making her body a testing lab for new discoveries, Liz shares important information on the gut-brain axis, nutri-genomics, the efficacy of high intensity weight training, the pros and cons of low carb diets, biohacking techniques and much, much more. Liz Earle is one of the most-trusted voices in wellbeing today and here she shares her hard-won wisdom, practical advice and know-how that can turn the tide on those feelings of dejection and can have us heading into our second halves full of vigour and hope to live longer and better.

Society needs elders (as distinguished from leaders) to progress. A progressive society is not a “liberal” society but one that solves issues for its citizens so they can live better lives. Numerous examples of current societal issues are presented. These issues cannot be resolved by continuing to classifying them as liberal / conservative, democrat / republican, etc. as such labeling is First Half (FH) of life thinking. Resolutions can be obtained by approaching issues with Second Half (SH) or elder thinking. The wisdom of an elder / sage does not result from obtaining a level of education, job posting, reaching a certain age, or retirement. Elder status can arise either from years of natural development or by individual election. Current leaders have essentially stifled natural elder development. The second way is achieved when the individual is humbled (often by experiencing devastation by life’s events) and then chooses to undertake an uncertain new journey. This book calls for the individual to make that election and tells how to do it.

"Like a good coach at 'halftime,' Morley helps men evaluate their past mistakes and provides the kind of practical insights, encouragement, and inspiration that will help them 'run to win' the rest of the way--and reach their full potential in Christ."--Bill McCartney, founder & CEO, Promise Keepers "Morley's analogy of the 'midlife lake' is worth the price of the book. He asks the right questions and rightly predicts that your 'second half' can be the most significant part of your life."--Bob Buford, author of Halftime The first part of your life was like a river running swiftly within its banks.
