Inventing the rest of our livesSuzanne Braun LevineWomen in Second Adulthood - What Matters, What Works, What’s Next-Inventing the Rest of Our Lives: Women in Second Adulthood - buy here $29.97 ![]() This revealing book explores the new frontier of Second Adulthood for a generation of women who are redefining their lives – yet again! The first generation of women to have tasted social, political and economic empowerment - some 37 million strong – has reached a new frontier that is unexpected and unexplored. Nearing their fifties and entering their sixties, they have fulfilled all the prescribed roles – daughter, wife, mother, employee; yet with longer life expectancy and better health they do not intend to retire from the world. They want to experience more. Inventing the Rest of our Lives is an evocative and eye-opening road map across this uncharted terrain. Suzanne Braun Levine draws on personal stories, cutting edge science, up-to-date trend analysis and her own struggles to show that Second Adulthood women are simply not the same people they were, only older; they are changing – both inside and out. The latest research she has uncovered proves it; Certain areas of their brains are undergoing a growth spurt very similar to that in adolescence, their sexual and emotional rhythms are readjusting along with their hormones, and their priorities are shifting dramatically. |
