This book is about the most important lessons I have learned in my life . . . Dr Maureen Gaffney has long been admired for her ability to combine rigorous psychological insight with clarity and real-world understanding. Now, in About Life, she has distilled the key insights of her career into an urgent book for the times we are living through. In About Life, Dr Gaffney brings together research, a lifetime of observation and her own personal experience to explore the question that matters most in uncertain times: how do we stay resilient, purposeful and fully engaged with life when the world feels increasingly unstable? From relationships, stress and happiness to identity, purpose, ageing and human connection, she examines the habits of mind that help us navigate change, recover from setbacks and build and sustain lives of meaning and substance. Written with her characteristic intelligence, honesty and empathy, About Life is a wise and essential guide to living well in unsettled times.

The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
