David Chamberlain on one of the 2300 stupas at Bagan, Burma Philanthropic Travel: We are the New Radicals by Julia Moulden New Radicals have different motivations, have taken different journeys, and have reached different destinations. But they share some common qualities, notably compassion for people and our planet, a deep belief that change is possible, and an enthusiasm for expanding the scope of their work at midlife. Each New Radical also reports a feeling of exhilaration about what lies ahead, as well as a surge of energy that comes from exploring unfamiliar terrain and flexing their muscles in new ways. We are indebted to these pioneers for creating new maps and models, and for helping the rest of us take our places in this global movement. If you stop to think about it, you probably know a New Radical. You may even be wondering if you might become one. The fact that you're reading this means the answer is probably "yes", but why not take this quiz to see if you're ready to cross the threshold into this exciting new territory? Are You a New Radical? THE NEW RADICALS: HOW BOOMERS ARE REINVENTING THEIR WORK TO HELP SAVE THE WORLD (AND HOW YOU CAN, TOO) by Julia Moulden, will be published by McGraw-Hill in 2007. If you agree with ten or more of the following statements, you're probably a New Radical-in-the-making. I'm a baby boomer. I'm in good health. I see the time after 50 as bonus years. I intend to keep working throughout my life. I'm eager for a second career. I like learning new things. I want work that is personally meaningful. I'm concerned about the state of the world, and believe it's possible to make a difference. I tend to be optimistic about the future. I want to be an active part of my community. I'm eager to learn about role models for working later in life. I want to leave a legacy. I want to do more than write a check: I want to do something. I have a good sense of what I can contribute, and think I can leverage my skills and resources in a new role. I think it's possible to change the world one act at a time. I'm wondering what to do with the rest of my life. I want to pursue - or uncover - my passions. I have dreams I want to fulfill. I want to discover my calling. I believe my greatest contribution is yet to come.
