5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful , Inspirational & Easy To Read Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 30, 2020
So here’s the thing: you will not find me in the self help section of the bookstore – especially not likely to dive into a book about “midlife”. Not because I have it all figured out (by any means) .. but in general I feel inspired and had a wake up call about a year ago and started living my way into that vision I saw (and see) daily for myself . I also am inundated daily with my work and projects and cannot take on another book…. I just don’t have the time to read … BUT. But: this book – Midlife Celebration – pulled me in.
Top two reasons I enjoyed it and I think others would love it:
1. It is *so* relevant to where most of us are right now in the middle of this pandemic. It will joyfully jolt you with some radically authentic wake up calls as you prepare for a “new” normal for yourself, for your business, etc. You don’t have to be at, approaching or “in” midlife to get the juicy goodness from this book.
2. The chapters are more like little “snippets” of thought streams, which make it HIGHLY easy to read, digestible, and more likely to stick with you after you’ve read them . Take 30 seconds and read one chapter a day if you just want a shot of inspo … but I will tell you this – I couldn’t stop. I devoured it in one extra long lunch break yesterday … realized I have some more fine -tuning to consider and do, but it really is a validation of life being a celebration if you so choose , and he offers a wake up call to possible blind areas we may not be aware of .
Great, easy read but with profound insight to get you thinking.

Amazon Book review: “Like many others, once I started Jeff Noel’s book ‘Mid Life Celebration’ I could not put it down and read through it in one sitting. It is very simple but brilliant. Jeff’s insightful words moved me and his articulation of practical, eternal truths inspired me to rethink why I’m here and what the heck am I doing- driving much self-reflection and re-prioritizing the core priorities of my life…Those being faith, family, community, health and career. There’s no doubt that this book will motivate you to look in the mirror, rethink your every step and if taken to heart, could make a profound impact on the second half of your life- regardless of your age. For me, it’s not a one time read but more of a handbook of practical reminders of what’s most important through life’s journey…I will refer to it often. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking to enrich their life and to teach sustainable lessons to family members, friends and children.

Pause, breathe, and take
Ignoring facts doesn’t change the facts.
dad
Sounds simplistic enough to easily disregard the wisdom. That is, until you start drawing a map…
Ignoring optimism
Ignoring wisdom
Ignoring wellness
Ignoring peace
Ignoring art
Ignoring priorities
“It does not matter where you begin in this book… the few pages of each chapter invite deeper thinking about what we do and why we do it. Each succinct chapter carries with it a wonderfully refreshing perspective that invites the reader to pause, breathe, and take in the possibilities life holds for each of us.”
