Written when Maxwell was in her eighties, \u003cb\u003eThe Measure of My Days\u003c\/b\u003e offers a panoramic vision of the issues that haunt us throughout our lives: the struggle to achieve goodness; how to maintain individuality in a mass society; and how to emerge--out of suffering, loss, and limitation--with something approaching wisdom. Maxwell's incredible wisdom, humanity, and dignity make The Measure of My Days both timeless and timely--an important contribution to the literature of aging, and of living.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56592250110326,"sku":"9780140051643","price":9.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_36365565.jpg?v=1762259390","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780140051643-the-measure-of-my-days","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
