Manage episode 432469212 series 2686479
WAYNE LEHRER, at 73, has fully moved into a new phase of life… the most rewarding so far. Wayne says, “I have prepared my whole life for this moment. Successes, failures, self-care, and eventually … Discovering what’s important … now. Learning to let go of what no longer Is. And the steps to take to cultivate Happiness, Joy, Meaning, Intimacy and Fulfillment in mid-to-late-life.” This is the groundbreaking message ofh is upcoming book “The Art of Conscious Aging that makes it the Operating Manual for the Third Act.”
Wayne’s unique view of the world first showed up in his paintings, then as a filmmaker, writer, producer of large-scale event experiences, and sculptor. It became clear that the thread was “immersive, transformative, and spiritually uplifting experiences.” But now he is in a different space. Around age 60, he started to let the person he was go, which was hard, and then became the person he is today.
This is the time when all the pieces come together: the hero(ine) overcomes their own and others’ obstacles, marshals their skills and talents, rises to the occasion, and, in the words of Abraham Maslow, self-actualizes. Age and the passage of time can be viewed as a great assembling of all our seemingly splinter skills and experiences. This is a time when we can become the person we were meant to be.
While he continues to teach yoga and meditation, he is also begun to Coach others to successfully Launch into their Third Act.
