Starting Over at 52: The Day I Chose New Lenses

Category: Health
Duration: 00:17:56

Description:

At 52, John realizes how often we trade our truth for “membership” - relationships, status, the idea of success - and quietly disappear. From a house fire to shaving his head, he reframes love, loss, and identity, arguing that real growth demands new lenses, not old fantasies.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why exchanging your truth for acceptance makes you lukewarm
  • “Corrective love” vs replaying the past’s highlight reel
  • How healthy love both confronts and delights
  • Impermanence as a doorway to gratitude (everything can vanish)
  • Reinvention at any age: new lenses → new life
