About The Event

Does the search for a good life end at forty? Does the desire for a fruitful intellectual exchange and a rich community magically disappear once we get married, get settled, have children, or finally retire? Of course not! Well, the Austin Institute is here for you. This coming fall, we are starting a new Good Life Reading Group + (Level 2). It will be open to all individuals above forty --or younger, but who do not feel they are "young professionals" anymore (time is relative after all). If you are interested in joining, please sign up at this link. We will find out the best dates and times to meet once the core group is formed. Also -- we will offer a Zoom connection: so if you are far from Austin, or if young kids keep you home sometime, or your aching bones, you do not have to worry.
