Women in Midlife Crisis

Rating:
Summary: INSPIRING AND COMFORTING
Review: For many women, mid-life can be an emotional roller coaster. Children are, or already have, left the nest, menopause is announcing its arrival, many unhappy marriages whose partners have "stayed for the sake of the children" are now ending, career changes or re-entry to the work force often takes place and then there are those little aches, pains and quirks that were never there when we were twenty. If any of these symptoms sound familiar to you, there is no need to panic, mid-life affects every woman to some varying degree. The good news is that with a positive outlook, a commitment to taking care of yourself - physically, emotionally and spiritually, and using these years to do whatever it is you truly want to do, mid-life can be one of life's greatest and most rewarding adventures.

The authors have written an exceptionally inspiring and comforting book which gives the reader an idea of what to expect during this time period, some of the issues which arise and ways for accepting and dealing with the changes of mid-life. What I liked most about the book was the positive attitude. The book was not written like many self-help books that say "you must do this and you must not do that" nor was the book condescending in any way. It is factual, informative and makes for interesting reading material.
