I am a retired architect and Follow of jesus living in Georgetown, TX. Like you I have a passion and life endeavor of concerns for mentoring young professionals and second career folks. I yearned fro a professional and spiritual mentor most of my life as an architect and businessman who formed my own firm at age 30 and had a marvelous yet challenging life. I am now writing a book ( first draft complete and in editing ), titled for now : A Hidden Calling Revealed. As my first book, other than professional master plans and reports throughout my career, is a passionate endeavor focus on developing a type of mentor support guide. I am using my remarkable experiences of gifted calling that I am now seeing much clearer at age 70 and can better explain how this has worked for myself. I too have read many of the books you recommend in fact I use them in my book as texts to check how those concepts and spiritual wisdom did work in my life.

I am seeking a collaborator to assist my efforts for the book and possible enlarging my mentoring beyond local young architect professionals and a few guys in men groups. Let me know if you have any recommendations. Thank you.

Hi Aby! Thanks for the recommendation. That one has been on my list for some time. I need to read it!

Dan, Try this book “The Second Mountain” by David brooks. Its all about how we climb the first mountain of achievement and now we are in the valley and how we can climb second mountain in service of humanity.

I loved loved the book!

I love that one, Ron! Great choice!
