Composing a Further Life

The Age of Active Wisdom

Mary Catherine Bateson

Discover a new life stage called Adulthood II in Composing a Further Life by Mary Catherine Bateson.

Bateson shares inspiring stories of men and women embracing this "age of active wisdom," from a retired boatyard worker turned silversmith to a famous actress. With Bateson's guidance, retirement is no longer about withdrawal but engagement with life more deeply. Find your way to a fulfilling life in Adulthood II.
