Now is the time,
By buoygirl (Cottage Grove, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: If Not Now When?: Reclaiming Ourselves at Midlife (Hardcover)
I was very pleased to read this book and find for myself a place where some positive spiritual energy is given on midlife. There are so many books out there outlining the changes of this time in our lives, and although every author declares midlife is not a disease, most literature reads like a textbook. This book was very empowering from a psychological standpoint. It outlined some of the changes, then showed how some women have made real, good, and lasting change in their lives as a result of this tumultuous period. I recommend it to anyone who's out there wondering what good will come of this time of our lives. It can.

Agree with Cathy Goodwin,

This review is from: If Not Now when: Reclaiming Ourselves at Midlife (Paperback)
I agree with Cathy Goodwin's observations about the shortcomings of this book. I simply couldn't relate to the women profiled and their comfortable lives. In fact, I found it all rather depressing. IMO, people who are financially well-off just don't seem to realize just how much having money gives them opportunities, choices and comforts that less well-off people will never have. Maybe Ms Goodwin should write a book for the rest of us!

Fluffy, not much substance,
By A Customer
This review is from: If Not Now when: Reclaiming Ourselves at Midlife (Paperback)
Have you ever read a book that was really a lengthened magazine article? That's this book. I ordered it on the heels of reading Martha Beck's excellent North Star book, and in comparison this book has very little insight despite the many personal anecdotes. The big point of it is that women reaching mid-life in this decade face unique situations (probably true) and that we are unequipped to face them (also probably true). But what about strategies, tools, means to achieve insight? Nothing between these covers that fits the bill.
