The age of active wisdom. The future we compose

We will live longer than our grandmothers lived. Are we ready for “maturity-2”, to what will happen after 60, after 70, after?

This book makes us completely look at the longevity that opens before us. And it will be good if wisdom appears - as a gift to those who are next to us. And the fear of old age and what is behind her will be overcome. But how to achieve this?

This is a guide and a revelation. Mary Bateson is trying to find what gives the completeness of his life. She talks with those who passed and realized her “third act”. These are women who are defending their right not to whiter, elderly couples who have found satisfaction in care for each other, scientists who transfer the inheritance to students, workers who abruptly changed their work with retirement, people who are thinking about the nature of religious feelings in adulthood. Mary Ketrin Bateson - a professor of anthropology, in the recent past - the head of the Institute of Intercultural Research (New York), advises the center for aging (Boston). The author of books that has been withstood more than one edition. She is the daughter of Margaret Med and Gregory Bateson. This book will make you think about the future, regardless of our age, will arouse imagination, curiosity and the desire to build this life.
