Joy Span: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half Book Study

What helps us flourish as we move through the second half of life? In this community book study, we'll explore Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half by Dr. Kerry Burnight. Together, we'll reflect on the habits, mindsets, and relationships that support well-being, resilience, and a sense of purpose as we navigate life's transitions and challenges. Each session will include guided discussion, personal reflection, and opportunities to learn from one another's experiences. Along the way, we'll explore what it means to continue growing, adapting, connecting, and contributing—regardless of age or stage of life. If you're interested in living with greater intention, cultivating meaningful connections, and discovering practical ways to enhance your well-being, we invite you to join us.. Books will be distributed at the first session. Purchase for $20, borrow for $10 deposit (refundable upon return). This book study is offered at no cost thanks to a grant from the Lower St. Croix Valley Foundation, St. Croix Valley Foundation and an anonymous donor advised fund. Books are only available for book study participants for check out or purchase.
