Brendan Hare is a recent retiree. He lives outside Boston with his wife, near their three grown children.

Mr. Hare worked as a teacher, a college economics instructor, and for over forty years, as an attorney. He served as chief litigation counsel for a Fortune 50 company, and later as the founder and managing partner of his own law firm. For over twenty years, he built and guided a sizeable national practice, with clients drawn from some of the largest corporations in America.

Few experiences in his career have been as rewarding as writing From Working to Wisdom. He spent two years traveling the country, meeting new people, and listening to them discuss their lives and thoughts about growing older.

Writing this book changed him profoundly. He hopes it will have a similar impact on readers.
