For most ladies, once past the forty-year old mark, each decade and milestone bring with them a new angst: "Another Year Older Ha! Ha!"; "Another Wrinkle? Ha! HA! HA!" scream the birthday cards! Don't you just hate them! Are you overwhelmed by pessimistic thoughts of melting unnoticed into the grey, invisible mass of the silver brigade? Have you stopped bothering about your figure? Your hair? Your nails? Your clothes? Your underwear? That dratted whisker on your chin? Those blasted pelvic floor exercises? Because noone will notice? Do you feel a nobody now that you are not in full-time work, juggling six careers with running a house, as well as looking after a partner, grandchildren and elderly parents? Do you feel as if you have lost the plot and direction in life?
Are your posture and what is left of your self-esteem racing to see which will reach rock bottom first?
It doesn't have to be like that! Help is at hand!
Christine Webber is an experienced psychotherapist. This, her latest book is a riot of positive joy! A veritable mayhem of jubilation! Baby Boomers have always been at the forefront of change: they are not going to deviate now!
This is a sunny, exuberant, continuing revolution against all of the above - and more!
Meticulously researched, there is loads of really useful information, practical suggestions, ideas and tips from staying working to being healthy and feeling good about ourselves, keeping our marbles, relationships and, of course, a happy sex life.
Beautifully written in an upbeat, chatty, down-to-earth and gently humorous style, this well laid-out book is for all of us who feel we might be approaching the scrap heap.
If life begins at 40, then, with Christine Webber's help, 60 is certainly "the new 40"! We can plan to live our future as well as we lived our past - perhaps even better!
Now .. when will she write one for the chaps?
