Your Best Age Is Now - 9780062357182

A nationally known psychotherapist and prominent television personality explodes myths and stereotypes about being “middle-aged,” and shows women how to make the most out of this next life phase.

Although we’ve been conditioned to think “middle aged” is practically a four-letter word, the realities of women in midlife today are far different than what our mothers experienced. Women in their forties, fifties, and even sixties are feeling younger and living more vibrant lives. But influenced by our youth-obsessed culture, women in midlife often fear that they aren’t relevant and no longer have options—that it’s simply too late for them.

Contradicting long-ingrained beliefs, Dr. Robi Ludwig draws on myth-busting data from psychological research and on her extensive experience as a therapist to show that midlife is not the beginning of decline. Midlife is actually a time to pursue dreams—not quit dreaming. In Your Best Age Is Now, she teaches women how to transform their view on midlife, offering specific insights to:

• identify false thinking that is holding them back

• question assumptions that keep them from realizing their dreams

• find work and nurture relationships that are soul-satisfying

• discover opportunities for growth and learning, and much more.

Your Best Age Is Now provides strategies to help women reject the status quo, become more “themselves” than ever before, and thrive at midlife, and find the kind of happiness they never thought possible.
