Life changes. And who we are changes with it.
The work, relationships and roles that once gave life its shape can change too, leaving us with more space — and new questions.
Who am I now? What matters to me? And what might these later years hold?
Freedom in Later Life explores these questions through ideas, essays, books and conversations about growing older and how we choose to live.

About Anna
I'm Anna Zannides, an author writing about meaning, identity, change and the questions that emerge as we grow older.
Freedom in Later Life grew from my own experience of questioning how I wanted to live, and from a belief that getting older doesn't mean our lives have to become smaller.
Being alone after 50 was once seen as a misfortune. Now many people choose it after divorce or loss. The psychiatrist Anthony Storr helps explain why, and what makes solitude a freedom rather than a retreat.
