The Power in the Middle cover

Most women believe that midlife is the beginning of the end of their lives, but the truth is that midlife can be the beginning of a new and better life if you have the right values and mindset. This book gives midlife women the tools and information they need to refine and redefine their values to live fully in the second half of life.

The average life expectancy in the U.S. for men and women hovers around 80 years old—and at 40, we usually start to hear phrases like, “I’m over the hill” or “past my prime.” For women, this phase of life, which starts as early as 35 and lasts into their 50s, can be particularly distressing. Most women believe that midlife is the beginning of the end of their lives, but the truth is that midlife can be the beginning of a new and better life if you have the right values and mindset. The Power in the Middle: Navigating Your Life with Confidence gives midlife women the tools and information they need to refine and redefine their values to live fully in the second half of life.

Licensed professional counselor O'Brien wants women to regain the fearlessness and confidence of childhood, to feel comfortable and content with themselves and be better able to handle inevitable surprises. This guide helps women figure out how to cope with stress and, through short exercises, how to assess their wellness across mental, physical, leisure, and spiritual health and in intimate relationships. -- Booklist
