Amazon.com Review
As baby boomers hit their 40s and 50s in record numbers, they're beginning to realize that middle age isn't what it used to be--that the old assumptions about these difficult years just aren't true anymore. Barbara Sher, the author of such motivational bestsellers as Live the Life You Love, believes that midlife is the beginning of something better than mere youth, a time when "you start to live your life to suit who you really are." Instead of worrying about your slowing body or unrealized expectations, Sher says, why not focus on new opportunities to take risks and try new experiences, or to take another crack at personal goals you never had a chance to go for in the past? Sher's unique view of aging is a heartening one, and it is sure to bring encouragement to those who would like to see "the big 4-0" as a beginning rather than an end.
Product Description
Shattering the myth that turns midlife (or any age) into a crisis, this provocative guide is packed with sage advice. Watch for career counselor Barbara Sher's upcoming PBS special.

 How to exchange your midlife melodrama for a better life ahead June 30, 2009
June Bug (Canada)
Barbara Sher's words opened up my mind and helped me see my life and the possibilities for it in a new light. I'm 41 and Creating Your Second Life After 40 is perfect for me. If you only new how many hours I have spent pining and chasing after romance thae last 2 years! Her chapter on how our biological drives drive us and happen to rise and fall like peaks in our life gave me a whole new take on what is happening and what to focus on now. Her ideas about life after 40 being hopeful, pleasant and a new time for even more abundant living are the perfect antidote to the symptoms of fear and anxiety myself and am some of my best friends have been experiencing are bang on! I am moving forward with making this time count, too! If you are a woman in search of romance try this book instead.
Gets you moving! May 5, 2009

I'm almost 50 and was kind of in a slump until I read this book. Really got me thinking then moving on what I really want to do! Highly recommended.

Material is very good. The book had another persons writing inside with a phone number and names.
 Well written, but very depressing January 8, 2009

This book is very well written and has some interesting concepts, but I got so depressed by the negative descriptions of getting older that I stopped reading after about two-thirds.
When I bought this book I thought it would be encouraging people to plan a great life and career after 40, but I didn't see anything about a career nor about a good life. It was all about getting used to the idea that it's over and you have to get used to the idea.
I also wouldn't recommend this book to a woman who has a husband because he sure wouldn't agree with a lot of the things the author has to say about beauty and love past 40.
This book changed my life December 7, 2008

I read this book back in the mid 90's at a time when I was trying to figure out what to do with my life. Due to this book, I came up with a plan and been workin' it and livin it ever since. I'm a huge fan of Barbara's.
