Summary: | Pizzo suggests planning for mid- to later-life transitions to reimagine ones sense of purpose and have more productive and meaningful life. Building on his earlier vision of using higher education as a route to repurposing, he have been repurposing himself by developing programs that explore ways that colleges and community colleges, nationally and globally, might be able to cultivate opportunities to reengage and reignite purpose, foster new communities, and recalibrate wellness for individuals in midlife. If midlife programs encourage renewed purpose, community building, and wellness, they might help compress morbidity for individuals and reduce the need for medical and social services for society. That would allow the navigation of career transitions to promote the health of both individuals and society. |
