What does it mean not just to live longer, but to live well? In this new monthly Bloomberg Originals series, David Rubenstein invites scientists, innovators, and thinkers to share what they’ve learned about extending both the length and the quality of our days. The conversations range from medical breakthroughs to everyday habits that nourish body, mind, and spirit—offering ideas and inspiration for those of us shaping the second half of life with intention.

This David Rubenstein book review looks beyond the headlines and into the deeper questions of leadership, legacy, and wisdom that matter most in the second half of life. Rubenstein, known for his role as a financier, philanthropist, and interviewer of world leaders, offers insights that resonate with anyone reflecting on purpose and contribution in later years. For spiritual seniors, his reflections invite us to consider not just what we achieve, but what we leave behind — and how the pursuit of meaning shapes the journey of aging well.
