About the Book

(Cloth Hardcover with Dust Jacket) We are growing older. When America became a nation, only one in five people lived to age seventy. Now more than four out of five do. The average life expectancy in America is currently around eighty years-and increasing. This expansion begs the question, what are we to do with a second half of life that could last forty or more years? The additional time makes it inevitable that somewhere between age thirty-five and sixty, many of us will find ourselves at the cusp of a massive (and possibly catastrophic) transition. A decade ago, I created a live experience (a rite of passage) for six people age 35 and over. Since then, I have guided nine Quest experiences in New Mexico and Tennessee with participants from all walks of life. While there is nothing like attending The Quest in person, I hope this book will become a well-worn guide map for your journey into second life. The path of The Quest is a unique journey, and no two ways are alike. Therefore I say each story is different, yet every story is the same. The many options can be disorienting. But fortunately, we have universal waypoints (intermediate points) that guide us to find the wisdom needed to make this journey of personal freedom. Ten topics repeatedly appeared in the rituals, books, and resources I studied and in the conversations I've had with others going through the transition to second life. Psychologist Carl Jung calls such recurrences synchronicity or "meaningful coincidences." The waypoints (chapters) in this book explore each recurring theme. Ten ways to discover one's call to adventure, to survive the trials, accept the rewards, and, yes, enjoy the second half of life.

Review :
"The Quest is not only a book; it's an experience. Randy has been my mentor and a gracious guide both in person and on the page. He's been willing to travel fearlessly ahead and graciously alongside those willing. The question he and this book begs is, are you ready to go deeper and live your most expansive life? As I hope it is yours, my answer is a definitive yes!" -MELISSA GREENE, Artist, Speaker, Writer, Co-Founder and Leader of IMAGINARIUM "Quest was a life-changing experience for me, and I reflect on it often. Last summer, I had the chance to take my family to Angel Fire. On Father's Day morning, my son and I hiked up to the same spot where I wrote my journal entry the day after Quest ended. (I recorded the GPS coordinates.) To sit there with my son seven years later, watching hot air balloons rise from the valley floor, was incredible. When I say Quest changed my life, I'm not kidding. But, be warned-it is not for the faint of heart, as Quest will push you to dive into your past and present areas that you might not do otherwise. I strongly recommend Quest for anyone desiring to live their very best life; it's a true game-changer." -NEVILLE LETZERICH, VP, and Chief Marketing Officer, Fortune 100 Tech Company "When I met Randy, I was crawling out of a 30-year history of being highly disembodied and trying to understand who I was in the world. The Quest not only allowed me to finally meet that person in solitude and wholeness but to see her as an integral part of humanity. It was an experience like no other-an altar giving thanks to who I had been and an edict welcoming who I was to become." -ABBY LANE, Writer "The Quest journey is one we all have the opportunity to take should we live long enough (and statistics show most of us will). The principles in this book helped give me the courage to see a future that no one else had dreamed for me and intentionally sail toward the reality of my true self. It combines the scientific study of anthropology, sociology, and philosophy with the tools and rich traditions of historically tested rituals. Randy explores the often neglected rites of passage in modern western societies and presents the cardinal directions you'll need to navigate your second half of life journey. The Quest gets my highest recommendation." -JONATHAN FORD, Chief AV Engineer, National Institutes of Health "I attended Quest five years after beginning to step away from day-to-day operations at our firm. At age 55, I found it hard to give up my "business marriage" and get past going back to the office most days! However, my time at Quest and the weeks, months, and years after were a chance to reflect emotionally on what I wanted to do with my future and how I wanted to give back. Quest showed me ways to pivot to the second half of life, and my goals and aspirations are once again unlimited, just as they were when I was younger. I'm thankful Quest gave me the tools and mindset to refocus on this valuable time of my life (and to give up going to the office!)" -JIMBO GULLEY, Partner, Texas Capital Partners
