Learning to Be Human Halfway Through Life | Author Chris Field
Manage episode 436465105 series 3369274
Warning authentic conversation follows. Be prepared to talk to your kids about sex if they are listening.
--
Meaning Making is for those who have laughed and cried and loved and lost and are now staring down the decades that remain, wondering how to ensure they don’t miss out on the exquisite chaos of the here and now.
No one is broken, everyone is worthy of being known, and we’re all a collection of complex, beautiful messes. These are the core truths that drive this gritty and authentic book forward. It’s about becoming fully human, one moment at a time—no matter what age you are.
This is not memoir or self-help. Chris acknowledges he doesn’t have all the answers (or many at all). He doesn’t offer five-step action plans, earth-shattering advice, or a promise to change your life.
Instead, he shares seemingly ordinary anecdotes, mundane moments that become formative life lessons—but only if we choose to make meaning from them. Vulnerable, heartfelt, and relatable, Meaning Making is about Chris’s commitment to embracing the second half of life—and inviting you to do the same.
Chris Field is an award-winning author and two-time TEDx speaker. He is the founder of Mercy Project, an innovative nonprofit that combats child trafficking in Ghana’s fishing industry. Mercy Project has rescued, rehabilitated, and reintegrated nearly three hundred formerly enslaved children back into their families.
Chris has broken multiple Guinness world records, run dozens of marathons, and taught hundreds of business students at Texas A&M University. His previous books include Disrupting for Good and A Billion Hours of Good. He lives in College Station, Texas, with his wife, Stacey, and their four children.
While all of this sounds really important and impressive (which he understands is the point of this section), he’s also just a regular guy who loses his temper, forgets his wallet, messes up a lot, and has a whole host of shortcomings equally as unimpressive as the two paragraphs above. In other words, he’s a beggar on a journey for bread, just like everyone else in the world.

You’re multifaceted, and the support you receive should reflect your needs.
True flourishing happens when every area of your life—performance, relationships, well-being, and leadership—has the right growth ecosystem.
I’m Lantz Howard, your trusted advisor, executive coach, marriage therapist, and spiritual guide.
When I’m not coaching CEOs, business owners, entrepreneurs, and senior pastors, you’ll find me preparing for Spartan obstacle races, raising my four daughters, or traveling the world with my wife.
Let’s start the journey together.
