Finishing Well by Bob Buford

Finishing Well by Bob Buford

Author Bob Buford called them code breakers. They are people age 40 and older who have pioneered the art of finishing well in these modern times, and who can teach us to do the same, starting today. Buford sought out 60 of these trailblazers--including Peter Drucker, Roger Staubach, Jim Collins, Ken Blanchard, and Dallas Willard--and has recorded their lively conversations in these pages so that they can serve as mentors in print for all of us.

Twenty years from now, Buford writes, the rules for this second adulthood as a productive season of life may be better known. But for now, we're out across the frontier breaking new ground.

Buford gives you a chance to sit at the feet of these pioneers and learn the art of finishing well so you can shift into a far more fulfilling life now, no matter your age, and pursue a lasting significance that will be a legacy for future generations.

Bob Buford is a graduate of the University of Texas and the Owner Managed Program at Harvard Business School. Until the sale of his company in July 1999 Bob Buford served as Chairman and CEO of Buford Television, Inc., which began with a single ABC affiliate in Tyler, Texas, and grew into a network of cable systems across the country. In 1995 Buford wrote the 750,000+-copy bestseller Halftime, a book about how to deal with the second half of our lives. In 2004 he wrote Finishing Well, a compilation of inspiring interviews threaded with Buford's own experiences. In 1984 he founded Leadership Network (www.leadnet.org) to serve leaders of innovative churches as they enter the 21st century. In 1998, Bob launched Halftime (www.halftime.org), an initiative of Leadership Network that helps successful people convert their faith into action and effective results. Shortly after Peter Drucker's death in 2005, Bob spearheaded the efforts to launch The Drucker Institute (www.druckerinstitute.com).
