Description
Composing a Life explores the creative potential of complex lives through the personal stories of five extraordinary women. Dr. Bateson examines how ambitions are constantly refocused on new goals and possibilities, revealing that life itself is a creative process.
With balanced sympathy and a candid approach, Bateson delves into the relationships between these women and their spouses, children, friends, work, and gender, showing how adaptation and change shape our lives. The result is a thought-provoking treatise on the nature of achievement and personal growth.
