"Those who adopt the principles in this book will help create a new model for the second half of life, but more important, they will reap the benefits of Boomer energy, experience, and talent to meet their missions. They will reach more children, build more affordable homes, treat more sick people, and engage more allies to support their work. They will be better positioned to succeed."
