Written with hope, candor and a biting sense of humor, Terri Lee Ryan utilizes her life experiences as a platform in, Life Is Just One Big To-Do List: A Woman's Life after 40. Offering advice and solace in dealing with women's daily to-do lists - including managing time-consuming mates, needy parents, a demoralizing divorce, job lay-offs and the aging process - she urges women to start living for themselves, not for others. Ryan shares her life and other women's lives at an age when their hormones are diminishing faster than they can take estrogen, their career options are dwindling, and the cellulite on the backs of their legs is multiplying faster than a virus! Ryan addresses the small and the not-so-small daily challenges women encounter that make them just want to hide under the covers instead of deal with life. Fun, honest and pertinent, this is a must-read for women over forty. "Fun and fabulous! I found myself hooked from page one - and I'm a guy...hilarious, and touching, this is one to put on your To-Buy list." - Thom Racina, television writer and author "Life lessons, punched up with humor. It kept me laughing, in between tears...a must-read for women." - Kelly Lange, author, "Maxi Poole" mystery series About the Author: Terri Lee Ryan is a marketing consultant and a career coach from Chicago, Illinois.

This review is from: Life is One Big To-Do List: A Woman's Life After 40 (Hardcover)
I had heard this book would be humurous and reflect on how our lives as women are filled with so many to-dos and what those to-dos typically are.
I found no humor and found her basically writing a biography of her life from 20 up to now. She had no children and was on her second marriage, and constantly switching jobs looking for the one career to make her successful and well-off. I could not relate to her or her life from page one.

Terri Lee Ryan, marketing consultant and career coach, has penned a witty self-help book aimed at women over 40 regarding life's unending chaotic moments and how to deal with them. Ryan focuses on issues ranging from lust versus love to aging parents, children, and pets. She writes about divorce, changes in friendships, dysfunctional families, career challenges, volunteering for charity work, along with dealing with housework, irritating people, computers, aging, and much more.
Life is One Big To-Do List addresses many important issues in a way readers will find humorous and relatable. Women over 40, as well as women and men of all ages, are sure to benefit from the author's candid, cleverly-written text. Ryan poignantly ends with: "My goal is to live each day as if it was my last and keep a stock of pens and paper handy for my to-do lists, knowing that when I quit writing them, my life is over. I would urge you to do the same." Well said.

This review is from: Life is One Big To-Do List: A Woman's Life After 40 (Hardcover)
Terri Lee Ryan's book is such a fun read. Each chapter takes a snippet out of her life and shares the highs and lows, good and the bad, the funny and the not so funny. Recognizing that after 40 a woman's life doesn't slow down but speeds up, Terri's book is a wake-up call for the woman who can't say no. The to-do list grows to include husband, children, work, parents, friends and even beloved pets. This is a great book to read when you get to feeling that only your life is out of control. As Terri goes through her life from childhood to after 40, it's clear she finds the humor in the confusion. No matter that all of our to-do lists are different, we can relate to Terri and find comfort that we can take control. If you're a woman over 40, this book will help you get a grip. If you're under 40, read and learn.
