A Full Life: Reflections at Ninety

Jimmy Carter's memoir of a long public life, written at ninety: growing up on a Georgia farm, the Navy, the governorship, the presidency, and the decades of humanitarian work that followed it. It is told with the plain-spoken modesty that defined his post-presidency.

For founders, A Full Life is a study in the second act: how a leader defines themselves after the peak of power. Carter's account of building the Carter Center and his post-presidential work shows how reputation is made in what you do after you lose, not just in what you won.
