Leap!: What Will We Do with the Rest of Our Lives?

Thirty years ago, Sara Davidson wrote the phenomenal bestseller Loose Change, the definitive book about the boomer generation's coming-of-age. Now this witty social observer has again turned her discerning eye to her contemporaries. Drawing on her own experience and that of others, Davidson takes a no-holdsbarred, illuminating, and hopeful look at the choices and challenges we face-and sets out on a passionate quest to learn how to do the coming years well.

Davidson interviews people from across the country and from all walks of life, including such icons as Carly Simon, Tom Hayden, Tracy Kidder, Jane Fonda, Ram Dass, and Iman, as well as teachers, writers, psychologists, and spiritual leaders. In the process, Davidson shows that while there is no single path that everyone will take, this generation will not fade quietly into the sunset. With Leap!, Davidson holds up a mirror for readers, allowing them to see not only themselves and those around them but their potential futures ... and the possibilities are boundless.
