Step into midlife with more confidence, depth, and clarity.

When you focus on what aging adds to your life, rather than on what it takes away, you can take on your second half with renewed energy, focus, and intention. In Shift: 7 Mindsets for an Inspired Midlife, business-leader-turned-coach Peter Reek encourages you to embrace the potential that midlife offers-because the richness of midlife is something you can create with your own hands, heart, and mind. The second half can be the most expansive part of your journey-a time for renewal, for growth, for diving deep into the things that truly satisfy your soul.

Drawing from his experience coaching hundreds of professionals, as well as his own hard-won life lessons, Reek shares how to shape your path by redefining success and reconnecting with what matters most. He emboldens you to draw on your resilience, stay solution-focused, and keep moving forward with intention.

From this perspective, you can genuinely and fully inhabit midlife by embracing three commitments: to lead your whole self well, to tell yourself the truth, and to practice radical acceptance. Reek reveals how mindset, a key aspect of life you have some command over, puts you in control of how your reactions affect you and your future. He teaches seven essential mindset shifts to transform the way you move through the world:

Shift into Curiosity

Shift into Connection

Shift into Response-Ability

Shift into Alignment

Shift into Befriending Your Body

Shift into Stillness

Shift into Brave

An easy read full of useful tips, Peter Reek's Shift calls you to live each day with grace and the kind of authenticity that lights up your soul. This isn't about changing who you are. It is about embracing who you are becoming. It is about reflecting on what you've learned in the first half, then deciding what you want to carry forward and what you want to leave behind. It is about going all in and living midlife like you mean it.

Industry Reviews

"Tomorrow arrives, each day, whether or not we're ready for it. This profound book of wisdom will help identify the seven mindset shifts that open the door for new possibilities as we lead into our future."

Seth Godin, author of The Song of Significance

"A book that treats midlife not as a decline, but as the bold adventure it should be. Peter Reek's seven shifts will change how you see aging and yourself."

Michael Bungay Stanier, bestselling author of The Coaching Habit and How to Work with (Almost) Anyone

"Shift is a terrific book! I didn't read it so much as sink into it. I feel changed by the experience. Midlife now comes with a manual. Shift is thoughtful, hopeful, and refreshingly practical about what it takes to grow through change."

Peter Bregman, bestselling author of 18 Minutes and Leading with Emotional Courage

"Midlife isn't a crisis-it's a catalyst. In Shift, Peter Reek invites readers to reimagine this pivotal life stage as a time of reinvention, purpose, and profound personal growth. I believe it shines a vital light on how the physical, emotional, and hormonal changes of this life phase-especially for women-reshape our relationships, identities, and ambitions. It creates a path to living inspired in the second half of life."

Dr. Jessica Shepherd, board-certified gynecologist and menopause expert, author of Generation M

"What is time, anyway? Peter Reek understands this: that time is just time, and how old you are, what stage you're at in the game, or how many years you have left are just a number in your head-real, but not that big of a deal, because at any point, you can begin again. You can cook it up all over again, you can step into the unknown with joy and, no matter how much you're trembling, with the assurance that you're going to be fine."

Rob Bell, New York Times-bestselling author of fourteen books including Love Wins
