No Second Acts? Bah Humbug!

Books make great gifts, especially for a holiday like Christmas. In that spirit of the season, I have two books to recommend. The fact that these books are written by authors with a close association to Directors & Boards makes it even more pleasurable to bring them to your attention. And we will give you a sampling of the books with excerpts in this month’s e-Briefing.

The first is 50 Plus! by Robert L. Dilenschneider. The book’s subtitle is, Critical Career Decisions for the Rest of Your Life. You know the famous dictum by F. Scott Fitzgerald that “There are no second acts in American lives”? I have always disagreed with that, and I am glad to know that Bob Dilenschneider also refutes that statement by the literary giant. “It simply isn’t true,” Bob writes in his book.
