In a world overshadowed by global economic downturn, people in their forties are experiencing the most profound shake-up . Those in their forties are juggling personal responsibilities while also navigating the pinnacle of their careers. Many believed that turning forty would bring stability to their lives, only to find that reality is quite the opposite. Deepening market downturns and technologies that are evolving at the speed of light has led to an increasing number of individuals in their forties feeling irrelevant in the job market. At the same time, these people represent the first generation to live up to a hundred years.
While our world is rapidly evolving, our perception of people’s fourth decade of life remains stuck in the mindset of thirty years past– middle-aged and standing at the doorstep of retirement. The problem is is that this image was crafted during a time when those who are currently in their sixties and seventies were in their forties.
"The Power of Forty" is a book by MK Kim, a life coach and motivational speaker often hailed as the 'Oprah Winfrey of Korea.' With close to two million subscribers, MK is the creator of MKTV and the founder of the online knowledge community MKY. This is her second English book in three years following the success of her first English book "Reboot," a bestseller on Amazon.
This book serves as a growth manual for those who feel it's too late to start something, those who believe they haven't achieved much by their forties, and those unsure about how to navigate this stage of life. Each page is full of encouragement and solutions, offering advice on how to ease the anxiety that comes with being in your forties and how to find balance while juggling various roles. Ultimately, this book guides readers to live the second half of their life – their second life – in an engaging and meaningful way.
For all those in their forties who have lived diligently and persist in the pursuit of excellence, this book is for you.
