As children and young adults, next stages of life were mapped out by someone else: our parents, teachers and bosses. Award-winning author Barb Warner contends at middle age, it is time to take full personal responsibility for your own second half.

Learn why growing older is nothing to fear, common myths about aging and brain loss simply aren’t true and an unhappy past in no way limits prospects for a joyful, success-filled future. Listen to your inner voice, develop and have faith in your vision and accept that change is only painful when you fear it. Host Roy Richards proposes a unique new year’s exercise: examine past life-altering decisions, good and bad, as your guide to making ‘right’ choices going forward.
