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 "Finding Your Own North Star." By comparison, this book has very little insight despite the many personal anecdotes.The book's main point is that women reaching mid-life in this generation face unique situations (probably true) and that we are unequipped to face them (also probably true). But what about giving us some strategies, tools, or means to achieve insight? Nothing between these covers that fits the bill.
