Synopsis
FROM THE BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF THE EMPTY RAINCOAT AND UNDERSTANDING ORGANISATIONS.
One of the major thinkers of our times reflects on how to live richer, more contented lives, drawing on wisdom built up over a lifetime
***A Financial Times Best Business Book of 2025***
Over a span of seven decades, Charles Handy was, variously, a businessman, a writer, a philanthropist and a philosopher. Not even a stroke as he approached the age of 90 dimmed his intellectual curiosity or his immense zest for life.
In this, his final book, written from the vantage point of a contemplative old age and drawing on his articles for The Idler he shares his thoughts on the big questions with which we all grapple:
- What things really matter?
- What daily worries should we learn to treat as unimportant?
- How do we become more accepting of ourselves and of those around us?
- How do we discover purpose in our everyday existence? How do we cope with grief and loss?
Drawing in part on his own experience, in part on the wisdom of others, he sets out the principles of enjoying a fulfilled and contented life, and gently points the way to the practicalities of achieving it.
