Our Later Years - by New Ground (Hardcover)

About the Book

An uplifting and honest book about how we can have a creative and fulfilling third age, written by a pioneering group of women who fought for 20 years to make their vision of growing old together a reality.

Book Synopsis

It's time to stand up to ageist stereotypes.

This is a book full of wisdom, tips and truths that will inspire anyone who wants their later years to be fulfilling and stress-free.

We do not turn into different people in our older age. We become versions of ourselves, shaped by our inevitable mistakes, golden moments, terrible losses and abundant blessings.

Nestled in North London is New Ground: a co-housing community made up of twenty-six pioneering older women who have worked tirelessly to redefine what ageing well can look like, and who have created a unique place that allows them to be who they want to be as they continue on their journey. A place to live for.

The women of New Ground have made sure they are in charge of their own destiny. Together they have created a blueprint for ageing well - a blueprint we can all follow to be old and happy.

Capturing the energy and revolutionary work in building and shaping this world-famous community, this is a wonderful celebration of how this complex and misunderstood phase of our lives can be as rewarding as any other.
