Product Description

Product Description

Aging does not have to be dreaded but can be, in fact, an amazing and wonderful adventure. Old age is a ripening, a harvest and potentially the most satisfying stage of our whole lives. The elderwoman has an important social role to play, at any level she chooses. Since our most pressing social imperative is that we learn to dwell more lightly and cooperatively on the earth, the natural 'lightening' of the aging process makes the elderwoman and ideal leader/expert in the art of what is now called 'downshifting', i.e. the conscious choice of a simple lifestyle. This is an interactive book, inviting the readers to reflect on their own experiences as they read. It includes self-help exercises drawn from the author's many years of experience as a workshop leader, and carries a wealth of useful resource material. The book draws on developmental and Jungian psychology, ecopsychology, deep ecology, spirituality and eco-feminist philosophy. Yet, it is written in a clear, jargon-free language which renders it accessible to all, regardless of educational standard, colour, race, belief system, socioeconomic level or sexual persuasion.

5.0 out of 5 stars A New Vista Opens, 16 Mar 2004
By Helen Roberts "DEA" (Gloucestershire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a Menopause Life Coach I recommend this book highly - it should be compulsory reading for every woman approaching fifty. The standard view of life after the menopause is very negative: Marian Van Eyk McCain's book is an antidote to this.
"Elderwoman" shows the third age of woman in such a positive light that you actively want the menopause to start so that you can get your feet on the path that leads to this new adventure which involves changes both outwardly and inwardly.

One of the key elements in the elderwoman stage of life is simplicity and Marian practises what she preaches in her approach to the content of the book and the way in which it is written. Marian's style is gentle without being wishy-washy. She combines her distilled wisdom with apposite anecdotes. The body of the book is structured around the four elements - earth, air, fire and water. These are linked to the concepts of "belonging...lightness and freedom...passion...fluidity". As her exploration of each area unfolds, so the principles or qualities of the elderwoman are revealed. Whilst many of them lead to contentment, do not be lulled into thinking that an elderwoman does nothing all day but smile, stroke her cat and reminisce: the elderwoman, as Marian describes her, is alive mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

The final section of the book is about balancing these qualities within yourself and also within the world in which you live. This book answers the question, "What is it like to be old?" and shows you that age is a rich experience with as much, if not more, freedom than youth. For an elderwoman "All need to dissemble is now gone. She can be her true self".

Once you have read this book, you'll forget all about HRT. Order two copies - one for yourself and one for your friends to borrow.
