Published by Penguin Life, Your One Wild and Precious Life: An Inspiring Guide to Becoming Your Best Self At Any Age offers a framework for embracing middle age and beyond – from acclaimed psychologist and No 1 bestselling author of Flourishing.

Using the latest ground-breaking research, leading psychologist Maureen Gaffney has written an inspiring and practical guide for getting to grips with time. Taking the key stages of our life - from infancy to old age - she explores what we learn at each stage. And, crucially, she explains how, no matter what has happened in the past, and what age you are, you can find a better route forward.

It is a book to fundamentally alter your relationship with time and show you that every age can be your best age.

Leading psychologist Dr Maureen Gaffney combines work in academia with a busy international consultancy business. She also serves on the executive committee of the Women's Leadership Board at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. Her last book, Flourishing, was a Number One bestseller in Ireland and has sold over 70,000 copies.

She is also a columnist, broadcaster and speaker.

“No matter where you locate yourself in this book there’s an energy to the prose that makes it a fascinating read… This book is a powerful reminder that history does not have to dictate our future”
