This compelling biography book is the second volume covering the remarkable life of Frank Lowy, one of Australia’s wealthiest and most influential figures. From refugee to multi-billionaire, Frank Lowy’s story has become legendary in Australia. Now in his mid-80s, Lowy continues to be a force to be reckoned with, achieving more since the publication of his first biography book, Pushing the Limits, in 2000 than most accomplish in a lifetime.

Since then, Lowy has expanded Westfield into one of the largest retail property companies worldwide, reshaping retail landscapes in both London and Australia. He revitalized Australian soccer, transforming it from a struggling enterprise into a thriving sport, and founded Australia’s first foreign policy think tank, the Lowy Institute, which now holds influence globally. When faced with his son’s incurable eye disease, Lowy responded by creating a research institute dedicated to the condition. He also honoured his father and commemorated half a million Hungarian Jews who perished at Auschwitz-Birkenau in a profoundly personal spiritual journey.

This biography book explores Lowy’s "second life," marked not by the pursuit of wealth but by a desire for intangible achievements and the betterment of others. Frank Lowy: A Second Life delves into his successes and failures, controversies and victories, offering a rare look at the strategies, struggles, and triumphs that shaped this extraordinary man.
