This is a thorough and encouraging book by a couple who do workshops helping 50+ people adapt to their changing lives and prepare for the future. They break it all down by branches and roots of a tree, with different branches representing things like career, health and relationships. It's filled with quotes and suggestions from people who have taken their workshops on things that helped them with all of these issues. The authors are very encouraging and supportive, with suggestions for journal exercises to work through some of the issues.

I read a digital ARC of this book for review.

Thank you Unbound and Netgalley for this ARC.

As I’m moving into the third act I was drawn to this book and It didn’t disappoint. I enjoyed the authors passion and energy for encouraging And permitting readers to thrive in the new energy of this stage in life. I Enjoyed the exercises they presented and made lots of highlights and tags for ideas to come back to.

This is a relevant, timely book as our population gets older. Read this and be reminded that age does not equate frailty, these are amazing times ahead to be embraced and enjoyed.

“Act 3: The Art of Growing Older” is the type of book that Is useful to have on your shelf to refer back to over time. It is full of tips and ideas for living life well as we age. The chapters are short and positive. It is a very enjoyable read!

Thank you unbound and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Very good stuff. To their credit, the author are very clear about what they do and don't offer and then go on provide solid ideas and suggestions about how to create a good Act 3, including approaches that you probably won't find elsewhere (e.g. types of goals to create). They also cover dying (which I didn't expect even though it's appropriate). Recommended.

Thanks very much for the review copy!!

Act 3 is a breath of fresh air, it’s packed full of positivity. It’s honest, has lots of very useful information and ideas on how to enjoy the aging process, to accept this as a part of life and something to be celebrated. Getting older is not something to dread but to relish.

There are lots of quotes and real life anecdotes from various people and circumstances that helps create such a positive attitude and a joie de vivre.

I found this to be a book to dip into depending on my mood or particular thought and the final chapters are so useful, for me personally it really struck a chord. It’s definitely a book I will refer to again and again.

A thought provoking and empowering read. Brilliant.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this for free . This is my honest, unbiased review.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Unbound for this book. I really enjoyed it. I'm in my late 40s, so not quite at Act 3 yet, but it is fast approaching and thanks to this book, I'm excited by all the possibilities that my future hopefully holds. Clearly written with honesty and compassion, I will be buying this book for friends and highly recommend to anyone over 40.

Since I am in my early 40s, I found this book to be an interesting read. People used to count down to retirement when they hit their mid-fifties, but the authors of this book show that now it is an age where you can make meaningful change in your life. I found that the personal stories were inspiring.

I loved it! I took notes! What a refreshing read. I thought the book offered practical advice that was inspirational. I thought the journal format was an excellent way to approach the subject, which was a gentle nudge to think and outline strategies to utilize the advice given. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this delightful book!

I love the idea of thinking about the ages of aproximately 50-75 as an Act 3. I am personally entering into the empty nest stage and have been reading some books on the subject. This book, however, doesn't work for me and how I work. It's more of a workbook for folks with ADHD. Not narrative at all, this has outlines and lists and exercises. I did not finish this one.
