Description

New brain research is proving it: Women at midlife really do start to see the world differently. Some 37 million women now entering their fifties and sixties--a unique generation--are refashioning their lives, with dramatic results. They have fulfilled all the prescribed roles--daughter, wife, mother, employee, but they're not ready to retire. They want to experience more. Suzanne Braun Levine gives us a fun, smart, and tremendously informative road map through the challenging and uncharted territory that lies ahead.

Women in second adulthood as we hit our fifties. You're not who you were, only older. I'm down to what matters, what works, and what's next. The "fuck you" fifties. When you stop 'bleeding down' your wisdom stops going out. Ten more years to become a wise elder. Post-menopausal zest!
