The most precious thing on this planet, something ive always believed,ever since an early age..
always enjoy what you’re doing, dont hurt others & you wont go far wrong, wise words from my father.. he was correct and so far so good
I’m not a big reader but perfectly capable, (last read was the twilight trilogy) I understand human phycology quite well and the mechanics of life in order to get the best from it, effort in, rewards back..
But the latter years approach and i/we have probably 30 years of active service to make the best of and am entering the fulfilment part of my life with my wife (of 35 years)
‘About Time’ was a lovely film about the best way to spend your time and i was wandering if any of you have read any good books that relate to the phycology behind ‘ways & techniques’ of spending time as you get older, not, go gardening or join a ‘man shed’ group etc, i know all the things that i/we enjoy and that satisfy us.
more after a book about the philosophy of life and the different stages way go through as we progress and age on our passage, how different psyche tackle it in different ways, even different cultures and how they broach it when surrounded by less (or more) modern clutter/noise.
Any suggestion? (If ive even made myself clear )

Not quite what you are asking for (but along the theme lines of "About Time"), if you want fiction books about the topic to enjoy, then I enjoyed:
- The Rearranged Life of Oona Lockhart: The topsy turvy life affirming adventure (Kindle Books) - Montimore, Margarita
- The Midnight Library: The No.1 Sunday Times bestseller and worldwide phenomenon (Kindle Books) - Haig, Matt
- How to Stop Time - Haig, Matt
