This book deals so directly and honestly with the issues of changing your life. I can't get over how the author has thought through the desire for change and the challenges of actually making the changes. This book is more meaningful and pertinent than all the coaching books I ever bought before. It was more targeted at mid-life changes than I expected but it has relevant material for people of any age who want to change any aspect of their life in a significant way. Be prepared to be get shaken up as you read and to be real honest with yourself. At age 50 and considering a major change in my work, it was the perfect book for me.

I've read all of the reviews here, and felt compelled to add my own two cents' worth. While the author might overly-emphasize the "beauty vs. wisdom" theory, and does dwell too much on her own view that dwindling libido = greater creative opportunities, I'd still recommend this book to anyone at a midlife crossroads. Why? Because it's a solidly helpful book in most respects.
When this book was released in 1998, I ordered a copy. I've been a big fan of Sher's for many years. At the time, my career had very unexpectedly stalled. Financial conditions were such that we (my family) had to downsize our home and lifestyle. In addition to those challenges, I had a breast cancer scare with lumpectomy. A few months later, my Dad died. This book was enormously helpful to me at a time when it seemed everything had tilted on axis in my world. Sher truly did help me find answers to the question, "Where do I go from here?"
Chapter 3, "Time Limits", was particulalry encouraging. Slapped hard in the face with the concepts of mortality, I began falling into crisis mode. What if my time is cut short? What if I've already run out of time? Those were haunting questions. Burying a parent in the midst of that crisis only served as fuel to the fear. Chapter 3 was enormously valuable in helping me to take some deep breaths, calm down and really explore what finite time had meant **and could mean** to me.
Chapter 8, "Escape to Freedom", was another wonderful section that had a profound impact in my life. It's a chapter that I feel would be useful to anyone at any age. That chapter alone is worth the price of the book, and I still review chapters 10 and 11 periodically. Those last chapters brough about significant change in my life. They could for you, too.
I only wish Ms. Sher had focussed more on the above-mentioned aspects of her message earlier in the book, because I believe age is something to celebrate, and beauty can glow from the face of a 90 year old. I also believe that most of us hope to enjoy a healthy, active libido right up 'till the day we're planted in the ground.
To summarize? If you, like me, can dismiss Sher's personal opinions about (physically) aging, then I believe you'll gain much from the other, more encouraging, insightful & proactive elements of this book.

A wise, insightful book; the title doesn't do it full justice. Ms. Sher confronts, in a plainspoken and sensitive way, the grief, uncertainty and fear one feels as one gets older/grapples with life's challenging questions of 'What now?' and 'Are my best years behind me?' No quick fixes/solutions here, and not a 'new age-y' kind of book, but rather a solid examination of the transitions we go through and how to embrace, rather than deny them. An honest and empathetic book. I highly recommend it.

A great book for anyone stuck in a rut or looking to make changes in their life. It took me a lot longer to get through this book than I anticipated, but every exercise in self-reflection was worth the effort. There were many truths that were hard to face; but these revelations were necessary in order to arrive at the end-state of exhilaration and freedom. I read this book with friends, and we formed a book club that provided an excellent sounding board and support system for for each other. We often joked that it was better and cheaper than therapy! At some meetings we talked for as long as four hours on one chapter!

Anything by Barbara Sher is a treasure and this book is as well. Great for people who feel frozen in place and think they are too old to do what they dream about.​

Her "Wishcraft" book launched my career and took the lid off creativity and solutions. This one not as much but if you are unfamiliar with her amazing work and perspectives, this would be a good start. I'm an author and I have probably influenced the sale of her books even more than my own.

Well, I'm pushing 60 - pushing it pretty hard you might say - and finally decided to give up my workaholic ways and get a life.

I bought this book a while back, skimmed it, and put it up on a shelf for "when I had more time". Thank God I finally found some!

Barbara Sher is a riot! She's down-to-earth and gives practical advice that actually makes sense. She allowed me to accept that I'm grouchy, sloppy, and no fun before my first cup of coffee - and I can STILL do wonderful things!

Certainly, the second chapter of one's life should be the happiest. Barbara, in all her wisdom, gives us a guide on how to get there.

What a blessing she is!
Sher delivers an upfront, honest, down-to-earth look at Midlife. I turned 40 not too long ago, and hadn't thought about midlife (consciously) yet. I have been, however, very stressed and frustrated. I've started wondering, "Is this it? Is this all there is? What have I been working so hard for?"

I came across this book and am so glad I gave it a try. Sher discusses the purposes of our "first life", and the biological, emotional and cultural factors that affect us at various stages of our life.

Her discussion of midlife (our second life), our illusions, our expectations, and what really is possible was so eye opening to me. Sher's words gave me clarity and hope for new opportunities to live the life I've always been striving for.

I highly recommend this book.
