Praise for Halftime:
“According to Bob Buford, the first half of life is a quest for success; the second is a quest for significance. Bob should know; he has achieved the first and is showing us the latter. You’ll find this book to be unique, inspiring, and practical. Read it and finish strong!”
–Max Lucado, pastor and bestselling author
“This book is for successful people who want more fulfillment in their lives and realize it won’t come from the next victory, the next sale, the next conquest, or significant increase in their bottom line. Let Bob Buford be your guide to make sure your best years are ahead of you.”
–Ken Blanchard, bestselling coauthor of The One-Minute Manager
From the Publisher
Instead of facing a crisis as I approached middle age, I discovered that a new and better life lay before me.
If you are approaching middle age — which can be anywhere from your late thirties well into your fifties — the very best years of your life lie ahead of you.
I called the process of discovery “halftime,” and the eventual outcome of this process led to my “second half.” The metaphor fit because, after a successful first half, I needed a break to make some changes in how I played the second.
I had plenty of success over the preceding twenty years, and I wasn’t burned out or frustrated, but I felt something was missing and I needed to change my game plan. In retrospect I can see that I must have been divinely protected from chasing down the usual trails people take to find what was missing.
Whatever success you are having will never completely fulfill you. A life of significance — of really mattering — is yours for the taking, and the process I describe in this book will work for you.

Enjoy this wise guidance on the things that matter most in moving from gaining success to leaving a legacy. Bob Buford sought out 60 trailblazers—including Peter Drucker, Roger Staubach, Jim Collins, Ken Blanchard, and Dallas Willard—and has recorded their conversations in these pages so that they can serve as “mentors in print” for all of us.
