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:
- How do we counter authoritarianism when democracy itself is threatened?
- How do we stay connected across generational divides?
- How do we make peace with endings while staying meaningfully engaged until the last breath?
