Create a Third Act That's Perfect for You

Aging happens to everyone who's lucky enough to keep living, but aging magnificently is a choice.

In "The New Old," Erika Andersen shares a liberating truth: you have the power to craft an extraordinary third act. Drawing from her decades of coaching executives, and her journey of creating a vibrant life between Spain and America, Andersen offers not just hope but a doable roadmap for your best years.

With candor and compassion, Andersen guides you through three transformative principles:

✔️ Be the Boss of Your Life: Create a compelling vision for your future and build a plan and a crew to help you achieve it.

✔️ Master Your Mindset: Transform how you talk to yourself about aging, and use mindfulness and gratitude to dramatically improve and extend your life.

✔️ Get Good at Change: Learn to thrive in the uncertain parts of life's transitions with grace, without resentment, and continuing to explore new possibilities.

Through intimate stories and conversations with seniors who are thriving, Andersen reveals what becomes possible when you approach aging with intention rather than resignation.

"The New Old" speaks directly to your deepest hopes: that your later years can be filled with purpose, connection, discovery, and joy. It's not just about growing older—it's about finding out that at sixty, seventy, and beyond, you are still a work in progress.
