  Which road are you going down?

Helping Boomers.com tracks a generation created by war, shaped by media, sparked by celebrity, matured by conspiracy, released by technology and powered by their sheer mass of numbers to a unique stature of wealth and influence. 

Welcome to the site that monitors the collective unconscious of the boomer generation, at a tipping point in their maturity, aging and coping with the past they shaped and the future they hope to guide.

"We are moving from an economy and a society built on the logical, linear, computer-like capabilities of the Information Age to an economy and a society built on the inventive, empathetic, big-picture capabilities of what's rising it its place, the Conceptual Age." from A Whole New Mind by Daniel Pink.
 Boomers have worked hard to get here and now we have to play even harder, not at golf like our parents, but at making a difference when we're gone.

Boomers need to think and act differently, on a personal, social and economic level.

What is the Tipping Point between work and play?

"We need to prepare ourselves for the possibility that sometimes big changes follow from small events, and that sometimes these changes can happen very quickly." from The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell

Malcolm Gladwell talks of epidemics of change, happening rapidly once a tipping point, or critical mass is reached.  This moment is fast approaching for the millions of Boomers reaching 60 years of age and searching for meaning and fulfillment in their remaining years.  They are past the mid-point of their existence and, like all generations will leave a legacy for history to judge.
