Download Description
Who am I really? What do I love? What are my real needs and dreams? And if I'm not fulfilling them now, when will I? If Not Now, When? Midlife is a wake-up call that requires we pay attention to where we stand in our lives. It is a time of intense reevaluation. Yet it is also a time of immense opportunity from which every woman can emerge a new person. Now in one of the first books to address the spiritual, emotional, and psychological dimensions of the midlife transition, acclaimed family therapist Stephanie Marston acts as a "midwife" to help women make it the extraordinary and transformative rite of passage it can be. Culled from interviews she conducted with women at every stage of midlife, as well as her own personal story, Marston shows us that now is the time to reclaim our long-neglected passions and dreams. Now is the time to find our own voice and rediscover our strengths. Now is the time to recognize a more authentic self beyond the roles of wife, mother, and career woman.

Far from glossing over the unavoidable challenges of midlife, Marston shares her own and other women's struggles and triumphs. You'll meet women who embrace their physical changes--and find a new, confident femininity . . . women who dare to reexamine all their relationships--and find greater equality, be it in marriage, friendship, or at work . . . women who confront the ghosts from their past--and get in touch with the freedom-loving "wild girl" of their youth. Filled with Marston's trademark wisdom and humor, as well as the voices of women like you, If Not Now, When? can lead you to discover your deepest, most enduring self and help you create a future brimming with tremendous possibilities. Its empowering message is clear: Midlife can be one of the richest, most profoundly significant, and most satisfying times of your life.
