Serene Ambition in a Real-Time World

If ever there was a time to embrace a way of being both serene and ambitious, this is it.

The changes rocking the world these days are anything but predictable. Headlines report crisis after crisis. Systems, governments and entire industries are being disrupted. Nothing is certain. All we have is "now". You probably didn't imagine even in your wildest dreams that this would be the reality in which you would be growing older.

What if you could be centered and calm, at peace and serene with all that is happening? What if you could also, at the same time, imagine ambitious new possibilities, make new commitments, and collaborate with other people-older and younger-to create a world that you would want to leave to future generations?

Jim Selman, an expert on change and transformation and a modern-day elder, believes that no matter how old or young you are, you have something unique to contribute to our shared future. Age-and whatever meaning you give to it-is just an interpretation. This compilation of his reflections on growing older and living in real time will inspire you to rethink how you relate to yourself, others, your circumstances, time and the mystery of life.
