Win a free copy of Your Third Chapter by Robyn Greaves (Publish Central, RRP $24.95)

Many older professionals in their 50s and 60s are sidelined or made redundant often just as their experience and wisdom is most valuable. But as the author points out, this third chapter can become the most impactful phase of working life. It's not about starting over, it's about integrating a lifetime of experience and redesigning work to fit who you are now.

What is Your Third Chapter about?

Your Third Chapter challenges the outdated idea that life after 50 is about winding down or quietly disappearing into retirement. In an era of unprecedented longevity, Robyn Greaves reframes this stage of life as one of the most powerful periods of contribution - when experience, judgement and wisdom are essential assets.

Drawing on more than 20 years' experience guiding late-career professionals through successful transitions, Robyn shows how the 'third chapter' can become the most energising and meaningful phase of working life. This is not a book about starting over, but about integrating a lifetime of experience and redesigning work to suit who you are now and how you want to live.

What will you learn?

Blending practical frameworks, reflective exercises and real-world case studies, Your Third Chapter helps you navigate restlessness, redundancy or burnout, step beyond the advertised job market, and explore portfolio, advisory and flexible work on your own terms. At its heart is Robyn's proven 5D framework for intentional career change, developed through decades of practice.

Insightful and reassuring, Your Third Chapter invites you to see your 50s, 60s and beyond not as a period of decline, but as a chapter rich with clarity, creativity and possibility - a time to do some of your most meaningful work yet, and to work for as long as you choose.

About Emma Edwards

Emma Edwards is a money educator and writer whose work focuses on mindful spending, financial wellbeing and practical ways to build a values-aligned budget. She is also the author of Good With Money.

From acclaimed director Sophie Hyde (Good Luck to You, Leo Grande), Jimpa is an uplifting multi-generational family story starring award-winning favourites Olivia Colman and John Lithgow.

Hannah (Colman) travels to vibrant Amsterdam with her teen, Frances (Aud Mason-Hyde), to reconnect with her politically-engaged, gay father-affectionately known as "Jimpa" (Lithgow).

Frances is besotted with Jimpa and announces they wish to stay with him for a year - to Hannah's apprehension.

Jimpa is fiercely independent, so it is a shock when his declining health is revealed, upending Frances' plans and bringing Hannah's sister in from the UK.

As the siblings negotiate what happens next, Hannah must confront her past and the stories she has told about her family.

With warmth, humour and joy, Jimpa reminds us that, in every family, there are stories that don't add up.

Jimpa is in cinemas from February 19.

But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous - a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power.

Behind the Winchesters' closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end.

The Housemaid is in cinemas from December 26.

1916. As war rages on the Western Front, the Choral Society in Ramsden, Yorkshire has lost most of its men to the army. The Choral's ambitious committee, determined to press ahead, decides to recruit local young males to swell their ranks.

They must also engage a new chorus master, and despite their suspicions that he has something to hide, their best bet seems to be Dr Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes) - driven, uncompromising, and recently returned from a career in Germany. As conscription papers start to arrive, the whole community discovers that the best response to the chaos that is laying waste to their lives is to make music together.

Directed by BAFTA, Olivier and Tony Award winner Nicholas Hytner (The Crucible) and written by BAFTA, Olivier and Tony Award winner Alan Bennett, The Choral marks their fourth writer-director collaboration following the acclaimed films The Madness of King George, The History Boys, and The Lady in The Van.

Why Property Prices Rise
By Terry Ryder
Major Street Publishing, $32.99

Australians love property and when it comes to buying a home we all want to know where is the best place to buy.

This is where this book can help. Author Terry Ryder has been in the residential property landscape for more than 40 years and he explains that more important than location is the local economy.

A property located close to schools, public transport, hospitals is part of a vibrant local economy and these are the properties that will earn capital growth for their owners, he says.

He explains why prices rise more in some places than others and provides a map to help readers locate the outperforming properties nationwide.

Kangaroo is a heart-warming family comedy about ex-TV personality, Chris Masterman, who becomes stranded in a town outside Alice Springs.

What Would Adam Smith Make of Modern Australia?
By Joseph Healy
Major Street, $32.99

Australia is not a level playing field, according to author and economic thinker Joseph Healy.

Too many people are getting smaller and smaller pieces of this country's growing economic pie, while a handful are getting far more than they can possibly eat.

The result is a decline in the wellbeing of Australian society, which is having a negative impact on family life, mental health, and education among others.

Drawing on the works of 18th-century Scottish writer and 'Father of Economics' Adam Smith, Healy offers an interesting perspective on how to shape a better and more equitable future.

"Love certainly moves in mysterious ways in Four Letters Of Love, a handsome, heartfelt adaptation of the Niall Williams novel. Gorgeous, sun-dappled Irish locations provide the backdrop to a sweeping narrative propelled by destiny, cosmic intervention and the odd miracle" -  ScreenDaily

Featuring a commanding ensemble cast, Polly Steele's tender character piece navigates the human condition.

Nicholas and Isabel are destined for each other, but their path to true love is anything but straightforward. As fate brings them together, they are also pulled apart by family, passion, and faith.

Nicholas' father, William (a touching performance from Pierce Brosnan), upends their quiet, modest life when he announces he has received a divine calling to dedicate himself to painting. Abandoning his job, he heads to the coast, leaving his bewildered wife and son to cope on their own.

Meanwhile, Isabel's family enjoys a vibrant life on a nearby island, filled with music and poetry. When tragedy strikes and her brother is injured, their joyful existence is shattered. In their grief, Isabel's parents (played to perfection by Helena Bonham Carter and Gabriel Byrne) decide to send her to a convent school on the mainland.

As Nicholas and Isabel navigate their separate paths of heartache and unfulfilled love, fate eventually weaves their lives back together delivering a heartfelt drama that will linger long after the end credits roll.
