Your Best Age Is Now: Embrace an Ageless Mindset, Reenergize Your Dreams, and Live a Soul-Satisfying Life

Although we've been conditioned to think "middle-aged" is practically a four-letter word, the realities of women in midlife today are far different than what our mothers experienced. Women in their forties, fifties, and even sixties are feeling younger and living more vibrant lives. But influenced by our youth-obsessed culture, we fear that when we hit midlife, we stop being relevant and no longer have options—that it's simply too late for us.

Contradicting long-ingrained beliefs, Robi Ludwig draws on myth-busting data from scientific research and her experience as a therapist to show that midlife is not the beginning of your decline—it is actually a time to pursue your dreams. During midlife, you experience a second adolescence: a time to question authority, take risks, and reinvent yourself. In Your Best Age Is Now, Ludwig offers specific advice on how to change your perception of this life phase and make the best of it in every area of your life:

• SELF-IMAGE: Identify the false thinking, stereo-types, and misconceptions that are holding you back.

• RELATIONSHIPS: Take charge of your love life—whether married, partnered, or reentering the dating world.

• WORK: Stay relevant in the workplace or start a new, exciting career.

• HEALTH AND WELLNESS: Let go of stress, cultivate resilience, and create a more balanced life.

• SPIRITUALITY: Find meaning and purpose while leading a life of gratitude.

Your Best Age Is Now provides the guidance you need to reject the status quo, become more "you" than ever before, and find the kind of happiness you never thought possible.
