This classic motivational book sets out to explode the myth of overnight success and challenge the notion that age is against anyone who wants to break out in a creative or entrepreneurial new direction. Julia Child didn’t start learning to cook until she was 37; Estee Lauder worked on products for more than a decade before starting her business at 36; Ian Fleming published his first book at 45 and Benjamin Franklin invented bifocals when he was 78! Full of inspiration for people frustrated in their careers, facing mid-life crises, redundancy or retirement and provides a compelling case for the ‘long view’.
“Truly profound and inspirational. It has changed my view of what I should be doing over the next two decades.” – Richard Koch, author of ‘The 80/20 Principle’
“‘At 40 you have 67% of your productive life ahead of you’. Tom Butler-Bowdon’s new book on this topic is great”. – Oliver Burkeman, author of ‘The Antidote’ and ‘Help!’
