Nationally-known psychotherapist and prominent television personality Dr. Robi Ludwig brings together the latest scientific research with her extensive experience as a therapist to show women how to revolutionize their perceptions of midlife and explode the age-based myths and stereotypes that keep women from feeling great about being "middle-aged." "Middle-aged" is practically a four-letter word; it has become a term loaded with negative connotations: old, out of it, over the hill. Unfortunately, it's a label that keeps women from living their lives to the fullest in what are their primetime years, more so now than any other time in history. Advances in medical science means women are living longer with a greater quality of life, offering them unprecedented ways to look and feel good and maintain a high level of vitality and health in their midlife years. But our culture over-idealizes youth, so women at midlife often feel they're losing control. They fear that they won't be relevant, that they no longer have options, that it's simply too late for them. Dr. Robi Ludwig believes middle age is a time to pursue dreams, not quit dreaming. In recent years, the research has been quietly piling up demonstrating that midlife is simply not the time of decline that we've been led to believe it is. And in Your Best Age Is Now, Dr. Ludwig will show women how to revolutionize their own concepts of midlife by bringing myth-busting data from psychological and sociological research that show things are simply not as bad as women think. She will share specific insights and tools to help women: , ∗identify false thinking that is holding them back , ∗question assumptions that keep them from realizing their dreams , ∗cope with family demands , ∗find work that serves a soul-satisfying life , ∗have a great sex life , ∗find amazing opportunities for growth and fulfillment Dr. Robi Ludwig will help readers unlock the secrets to thriving at midlife, providing strategies to help women reject the status quo and become more "themselves" than ever before-and find the kind of happiness they never thought possible.
