Could your 60s and 70s be the best time of your life? Research suggests that ages 70 to 74 are the happiest age group for adults, followed by those aged 65 to 69.
“I’m actually busier than ever, and I do feel happy,” says Joanne Huspek, a 63-year-old retired blogger and writer.
To celebrate the International Day of Happiness on March 20, here are four inspiring books celebrating women living their best lives later in life:
