About this title

Synopsis

Focusing on the Carters' own experiences since leaving the White House, this autobiography offers advice on how Americans can make the most of the second part of their lives

From the Back Cover

Everything to Gain is the warm, unpretentious account of how Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter created a new, full life after their challenging and rewarding years in the White House. The Carters discuss their changing relationship over the course of a long and eventful marriage; they examine America's urgent health issues (and share their personal rules for longevity); they describe the rugged labor and joyous satisfaction of their work with Habitat for Humanity; and they discuss their efforts through The Carter Center to promote peace and human rights. Drawing upon their own experiences and those of many others, the Carters propose dozens of ways for any couple in career transition to renew their commitment to themselves and to life and to enjoy emotional, physical, and spiritual health. A rich and revealing portrait of two of our most notable Americans, Everything to Gain is a robust answer for every couple wondering, "What now?"
