And she began to wonder what was in store for her own second fifty. Suddenly, the questions she’d been studying for years became personal: How long will I live? Will I be healthy? Will I lose my memory? How long will I work? Will I have enough money? Where will I live? How will I die? Whether you are approaching fifty, into your later years, or caring for someone who is, you’ll find a wealth of wisdom in this episode. Buy The Second Fifty here. Join our newsletter community here.
