My Time: Making the Most of the Bonus Decades After Fifty

An uplifting and inspiring look at the life’s later stages, and how to make the most of them In My Time, best-selling author Abigail Trafford answers the questions more and more 50-somethings are asking themselves. Thanks to the longevity revolution of recent decades, today’s 55- to75-year-olds are living and working longer and staying healthier than ever before. This generation is the first to experience the period of personal renaissance in between middle and old age - what Trafford calls My Time. Defining this period as a whole new developmental stage in the life cycle, Trafford skilfully guides readers through the obstacles of My Time and offers them the opportunity to take full advantage of the bonus decades. With her characteristic blend of wit, compassion, and vivid storytelling, Trafford combines personal stories with expert opinions and the latest research on adult development. From the psychoanalyst who gave up his practice to write self-help books, to the widowed mother of three who reinvented herself as a successful photographer, true tales of crisis and triumph sparkle on every page of this inspiring and insightful book.
