Product Description
Women at Mid-life Tell the Truth about What Really Matters in Work, Relationships, and the Rest of Life
From the bestselling author of What Next? comes a deliciously frank and inspiring look at contemporary women and the life choices they make.
“I am feverish with all the possibilities,” says one woman, of her life now. “I lost myself, my sense of being because I had to conform to an alpha male world. I would come out of meetings sick to my stomach, not because of what had happened in the meeting but because of what had happened to me,” says another of her life in a corporate organization.
So just what does this generation of women, the first to “have it all,” have to say for themselves today? Lots, it turns out. Rueful, funny, bitchy, wise, women at mid-life are tired of trying to please and continually biting their tongues. They have worked, married, had children, divorced, chosen to stay home, and learned lots of life’s lessons — and they are more than happy to dish it all out for us.
Through the skilful lens of renowned life coach Dr. Barbara Moses, the voices of over one thousand women are focused on the issues surrounding career, family, love and sex, friendship, and society. Through them, we see a brilliant snapshot of an entire generation, one that first tackled the glass ceiling and fought for equality at home and at work. We hear what they think of their lives now, of the choices they have made, what has made them happy, and what they would change for the second half of their lives. In Moses’s capable hands, these voices become welcome advice from a host of friends, a road map for future choices. Dish is addictively readable and full of wisdom, and it will change the face of self-help.
A sample of the voices in Dish:
“My boss, the VP of HR, said, ‘We really need to promote work-life balance in the company. Let’s have a meeting Monday morning at seven-thirty to discuss it.’”
“I’m proud of myself for ending the marriage . . . asserting my right to feel good about my life and being strong enough to do it.”
“I practise Marxist (Groucho) monogamy. I wouldn’t have an affair with anyone who would have an affair with me.”

Boring,
By Book Bag "BB" (Newfoundland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dish: Midlife Women Tell the Truth about Work, Relationships, and the Rest of Life (Paperback)
Reads like a thesis. Looks like her friends put in the positive reviews.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Conversation with a trusted friend,
By Violet (Toronto, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dish: Midlife Women Tell the Truth about Work, Relationships, and the Rest of Life (Paperback)
I have trouble putting this book down! It's like having a conversation with a trusted friend. Having had no available female relatives to look to for information or opinion or decent advice on growing up, becoming a teenager, self-esteem, career choices, goals and how to achieve them, boyfriends, makeup, men, life choices, I'm finding that reading "Dish" is like finally gaining some of the missing female "bonding" (for lack of a better word) in my life. I'm not alone in my thoughts and fears and hopes!
I'm reading a library copy, but I'll be getting my own, because this is a book I will read several times over.

Insightful, physiological, intellectual... just a great read,
By evguenia (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dish: Midlife Women Tell the Truth about Work, Relationships, and the Rest of Life (Paperback)
Read the book - loved the book. Some people would say: "I wish I read it before... when I was younger." Myself, I'm happy to have it now when I'm 29. Barbara's story-telling genre is the best. I read the Relationship section in one night. It made me think of my own relationships (why they worked or didn't work). Also, thought about my parents and why they divorced after being together for 20 years. And I thought about my friends... what advice to give them. Read the book!
