Growing his boutique hotel business to 52 locations, Chip Conley sold his Joie de Vivre hotels (now JDV) to Hyatt Hotels, but that was the end of it all.

After writing his pivotal book, Wisdom at Work , Chip created the midlife wisdom school, MEA, in Baja, Mexico to assist people in the navigation of life’s transitions. 

His new book, Learning to Love Midlife, will be out in February.
