Abstract

We can always start over.
While life has become longer, lifestyles have become shorter, and we can no longer envision a future that is focused on a single goal as we once did. In these turbulent times, it has become commonplace to live a life with multiple lifestyle transitions (pivots). In this book, we call such a way of life “Life Pivot,” and have systematized a way of thinking and a course of action that enables us to continue to make choices that are uniquely our own at any age. The book explains how to chart one's future in all directions, using the “Three Accumulations,” the “Three Principles of Action,” and the “Six Actions” as scaffolds for daily actions, and sometimes taking advantage of coincidence.
