<p><b>FROM THE BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF <i>THE EMPTY RAINCOAT </i>AND <i>UNDERSTANDING ORGANISATIONS.</i></b></p><p><b>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</b></p><p><b>***A <i>Financial Times </i>Best Business Book of 2025***</b></p><p>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.</p><p>In this, his final book, written from the vantage point of a contemplative old age and drawing on his articles for <i>The Idler</i> he shares his thoughts on the big questions with which we all grapple:</p><ul><li>What things really matter?</li><li>What daily worries should we learn to treat as unimportant?</li><li>How do we become more accepting of ourselves and of those around us?</li><li>How do we discover purpose in our everyday existence? How do we cope with grief and loss?</li></ul><p>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.</p>
