This insightful book by President Carter offers his wise, deeply personal meditation on the new experiences that come to us with age. As an older American, Carter has never enjoyed more prestige or influence on the world stage, nor has he ever felt more profound happiness with himself, with his accomplishments, and with his beloved wife, Rosalynn. He shares the knowledge and the pleasures that age have brought him, blending memoir, anecdote, political savvy, and practical advice. This book truly illuminates the rich promises of growing older.
