The Next Chapter
Change The Mindset - Change Your Life
by Robert Miller and Monika Lowry

---

The Next Chapter proposes that our lifestyles, homes, and escapes are not places, things, or events but rather mindsets shaped by expectations and priorities we have set for ourselves and our futures. And then The Next Chapter gets right down to providing tools to help mid-life people change those mindsets to create the future they truly want. Through their long careers as realtors, working with clients at important crossroads in their lives, the authors have witnessed the regenerative potential a midlife crisis can bring and discovered that there’s a “reboot” option to create a better future. Practical, inspirational, and highly readable, The Next Chapter tackles wide-ranging issues common to those of us in midlife such as: adjusting positively to unexpected financial reverses, identifying personal priorities, coping with loss, creating a “bucket list,” choosing a retirement lifestyle, buying a new home, and even keeping one’s assets out of the hands of self-serving lawyers in the unfortunate event of a divorce. Through an examination of the foundational building blocks that shape our belief systems, they have devised a system to help you navigate what’s ahead on your life’s journey. Warm, wise, and empathetic, the authors use “case studies” of people’s mid-life stories and a well-constructed system of deep questions and practical steps to help you determine the future you really want and steer your way to it.

"One of the paradoxes of our life journey is wanting drama without trauma, stability without predictability, social interaction without expectations, intimacy without commitment, to be admired without feeling watched, to be heard without judgement, to speak out without scrutiny, to live without rules, to die without being accountable, to have “Ah Ha & WOW” moments without the “Oh NO!” experiences!" —Robert Miller, author Just as our youthful values, expectations and priorities were the basis of the successes and misadventures in life to this point, they are also foundational to our lifestyle, the homes we live in and our midlife escapes ahead. When our youthful dreams and expectations re-emerge in midlife, the collision with our adult priorities and goals can be messy. How we respond and prioritize what’s most important going forward will shape the quality and quantity of life available to us ahead—our mindset, health, relationships, finances, time, bucket list and legacy. “While we often think of ‘wealth’ as our finances, true wealth has many dimensions. In The Next Chapter, Monika and Robert help us to open our thinking to considering wealth as not just our assets, but also our mindsets. This then sets the stage for elevating our financial and mindset health to another level where we can truly thrive in all aspects of our lives that are important for us in midlife. Monika and Robert show us a clear path to navigate the journey that we are on to build a life that you want with deep clarity and powerful intention.” —Greg Wells, PhD, Author of The Ripple Effect, Rest Refocus Recharge & Powerhouse “Standing at the intersection where our values, expectations and priorities collide with those incompatible goals and lifestyle choices many of us tried to adopt in our twenties and thirties, The Next Chapter demonstrates the regenerative potential a midlife crisis can bring. Just as every cloud can have a silver lining, midlife adversity can be the catalyst that changes our mindset to create the future we truly want through the lifestyles, homes and escapes we choose for ourselves. While there is no magic pill that erases the pain and hurt of the past, how we respond and prioritize what’s most important going forward is a series of decisions that can reshape the quality and quantity of our life ahead – our mindset, health, relationships, time, finances, bucket list and legacy. By focusing on the glass half-full, THE NEXT CHAPTER offers a “reboot” option to create the future ahead.”
