The bestselling guide to aging with purpose is now updated with urgent wisdom on staying engaged, countering tyranny, and making peace with mortality.
Independent Publisher Book Awards gold medalist in the Aging/Death & Dying category.
Getting older isn''t about withdrawal—it''s about diving deeper into life, work, relationships, and meaning. But how do you stay engaged when facing loss, political chaos, and mortality?
In this revised and expanded edition, beloved teacher and bestselling author Parker J. Palmer returns with eight more years of hard-won wisdom. Drawing on nine decades of life, Palmer explores the urgent questions aging raises:
Through meditations blending prose and poetry, Palmer shows that old is just another word for nothing left to lose—a time to speak truth, reach out, reach in, and fully inhabit the life you have. Laced with humor and gravitas, this book does not tell you how to age. It invites you to turn the prism on your own unfolding life, refracting new light at every turn.
