About the series
Second Curve is a series for the second half of working life — the stretch after fifty when the old operating system quietly stops working. Grounded in psychology and neuroscience but free of hustle and hype, it offers calm, practical frameworks — and a 90-day plan — to move from driven to designer: more clarity, energy, and meaning, on purpose.
