"According to a recent report, a third of all American men over the age of 55 no longer work! Only a generation or two ago our forebears labored through a lifetime to reach an exhausted old age, whereas we can look forward to a full, robust 'second' life in our later years. It is possible to have an entirely different career after our first one has ended and even to weave two or three exciting vocations together" (Introduction). Recipient Chris Hemmeter was real estate developer and personal friend of Rosalynn and Jimmy Carter; he served on the board of the Carter Center in Atlanta. With a laid-in card presenting this book "with the compliments of Jimmy Carter."

Book fine, dust jacket near-fine with one short closed tear and mild wear to spine ends.
