From Java to Hobart via Berlin, Dessaix invites us to eavesdrop on his intimate, no-nonsense conversations about ageing with friends and chance acquaintances.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReflecting on time, religion, painting, dancing and even grandchildren, Dessaix takes us on an enlivening journey across the landscape of growing older. Riffing on writers and thinkers from Plato to Eva Hoffman, he homes in on the crucial importance of a rich inner life.  The Time of Our Lives is a wise and timely exploration of not just the challenges but also the many possibilities of old age.\nThe book is in good condition, but the last 60 pages have very minor water damage.  Binding is good.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brio Books","offers":[{"title":"Fair \/ 8a81608353e","offer_id":48068113432727,"sku":"9781922267481-FR-000140001","price":6.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/9002\/8951\/files\/11085933482872.jpg?v=1785060366","url":"https:\/\/thriftreads.co.nz\/products\/the-time-of-our-lives-growing-older-well","provider":"Thrift Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
