Description

Playwright and Jungian analyst Florida Scott-Maxwell explores the unique quandary of one’s later years: when one feels both bring to a halt from the past and out of step with the present; when the body rebels at activity however the mind becomes more passionate than ever. Written when Maxwell used to be in her eighties, The Measure of My Days offers a panoramic vision of the issues that haunt us all over our lives: the struggle to reach goodness; how you can care for individuality in a mass society; and how you can emerge–out of suffering, loss, and limitation–with something approaching wisdom. Maxwell’s improbable wisdom, humanity, and dignity make The Measure of My Days both timeless and timely–the most important contribution to the literature of aging, and of living.
