The Woman's Way : Celebrating Life After 40 [Hardcover]

Regan Marie Brown (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 15, 2001

Once in a great while, a book resonates so deeply and speaks so truly that it casts a whole new light on the adventure of life, love, connection, and lifelong learning. The Woman's Way is a book of short observations - some witty, some funny, and some deep and rich with love - that show real life as just that: not a fairy tale, not a nightmare, but a real-world adventure to be savored and shared. Author Regan Brown shows us that women have learned a great many life lessons by the time we reach 40. The right perspective helps us enjoy every minute of the journey - we find ourselves free to follow our dreams with more confidence, resilience, wisdom, and inner strength. The wisdom and personal reflections found in The Women's Way help women discover and appreciate the joys of knowing their friends better, fully appreciating the freedoms they've discovered, and enjoying the magnificent opportunities that still lie ahead.

This book is like having a wise friend in the room. Sometimes "quote" books tend to be sappy; this one isn't. It's smart and uplifting - something you can stick on your bedside stand and dip into when you need a pick-me-up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Sitting with a Friend, October 8, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Woman's Way : Celebrating Life After 40 (Hardcover)

This book was given to me as an extra-early 40th birthday present by a very dear friend. Reading this book of no-nonsense reflections is like sitting with a good friend, wrapped in quilts and drinking tea.

This review is from: The Woman's Way : Celebrating Life After 40 (Hardcover)

From as far back as I can remember, I have been drawn to what some call "women of a certain age." It would be many years before I even began to understand the myriad reasons why this was so; and it was not until reading The Woman's Way: Celebrating Life After 40, that I ever saw so many of those reasons spelled out so eloquently.

Regan Brown's keen and witty observations about middle-age resonate with spirit and epitomize growth. Like King Solomon, who wrote "proverbs" about Life, the Universe, and Everything in bite-sized "nuggets" of wisdom, Brown's remarkable look at mid-life comes in short, sweet, touching, humorous, and acutely insightful observations.

The first thing I did upon finishing The Woman's Way was to go right back online and order a copy for my daughter.
