Michael Clinton is a uniquely-talented individual. A former president and publishing director of Hearst Publications (which includes Cosmopolitan, Esquire, O The Oprah Magazine, Redbook and Woman's Day), Michael is also an accomplished photographer, marathon runner, philanthropist, author and private pilot.

When he finally decided to step down from his publishing career, he was looking for advice on his next stage of life. "Everything I read was about winding down. And I wanted to just the opposite. I wanted to wind up and do lots of new things." And that's when the idea for his new book, "ROAR Into the Second Half of Your Life (Before It's Too Late)," was born.

ROAR is an acronym that outlines an empowering path for embracing your future. The four, important steps are:

• "R"...Reimagine yourself
• "O"...Own who you are
• "A"...Act on what's next
• "R"...Reassess your Relationships
