Book description
With more than 60 beautiful portrait photographs and profiles of notable people who are redefining conventional retirement and living their most productive and thrilling new chapters later in life, The Third Act celebrates aging in all its grace, excitement, accomplishments, and discovery. There's an entirely new way to think about what you do later in life. The Third Act profiles 60 people who are doing it differently.
