Many of the ideas are of great use in the years leading up to that time also.
“Thank you for the copy of The Map of Meaning and Ageing. I like the way the book is presented…I like the mix of print and picture/ diagram/ space to record and draw. I have been underlining phrases that I want to remember and jotting down thoughts in spaces provided as I go…. I can see the book being relevant for as long as I live; reviewing what I’ve written and finding greater relevance or cause for reflection as I get older and am no longer working or my circumstances change.” – Pauline
