A book for baby boomers and others not content to accept an unfulfilling future. The Caterpillar That Roared, a quick-read book in the tradition of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Who Moved My Cheese? was co-authored with Joseph Sturniolo’s fellow baby boomer, Dan Christopherson. Each chapter of the 13-chapter book illustrates the 13 lessons learned in Sturniolo’s ROAR workshops – aimed at helping people discover or rediscover their gifts and passions so they can meaningfully employ them in the next stage of their lives. The workshops grew into an organization – ROAR – and a virtual community aimed at creating a revolution of alternatives to conventional retirement or unfulfilling occupations.
