The Book I’m Writing
Second Summit is a long-form exploration of midlife, not as a crisis, but as a turning point.
It’s about what happens when the rules you’ve lived by for decades start to feel incomplete. When achievement alone isn’t enough. When time feels more finite, and the next chapter deserves more care.
This book is built from conversations with men who are navigating that shift in real time.
Not experts.
Not influencers.
Just people paying attention.
What This Book Is (and Isn’t)
Second Summit is not:
A hustle manifesto
A reinvention playbook
A list of life hacks
A promise of transformation
A quick fix self help book
It is:
A collection of real stories
A reflection on work, health, identity, and meaning
A practical, thoughtful look at building forward in the second half of life
An invitation to think more clearly about what actually matters now
The goal isn’t reinvention.
It’s alignment.
Why Conversations Matter
I didn’t want to write this book alone.
Midlife isn’t experienced in isolation, and it shouldn’t be understood that way either. The most useful insights don’t come from certainty, they come from listening, comparing notes, and noticing patterns across different lives.
Every conversation shapes the work.
Some insights may appear anonymously in the book. Some may influence themes, structure, or questions I ask. All of them matter.
How the Book Is Being Built
This is slow work, by design.
The book is evolving through:
My experiences, explorations and conversations
One-on-one interviews
Small group roundtables
Written reflections and prompts
Ongoing synthesis and revision
The aim isn’t to publish quickly.
It’s to publish something honest.
An Invitation
If you’re in midlife and asking questions, about work, purpose, health, relationships, or identity. I’d love to hear from you.
You don’t need a polished story.
You don’t need to be “figured out.”
You just need to be open.
Let’s have some fun becoming.
