Finding Love After 40


Book Description

Around the age of 40, something simply seems to shift. If we¿re married, we may ask ourselves who we truly are and if we want to stay with our mate for the long haul; if we¿re not married, we may have the sense that we¿d better get moving, especially if we want to have a family. And what about those who have long passed 40? Those who have gone through divorce or losing a spouse and still want to believe that love is possible later in life?Author Belinda Busteed Burum, herself a hopeless romantic, set out to prove that true love is possible at any age, that we don¿t have to settle for less than our heart¿s desire. Through conducting numerous interviews, reading scores of books and blogs, and speaking to experts, she sought to learn the secrets of ¿those who got it right, even if by accident.¿ From thrice-divorced singles who found love online, to couples falling in love in their 80s and 90s, the stories in this book corroborate that our path to the Promised Land of love is often circuitous¿involving life experience, self-inquiry, and relationships that don¿t work out quite as we envision.In witnessing the simple yet profound wisdom within real stories of ordinary people, Finding Love After 40 will give you hope that love is possible. And if you¿re already in a fulfilling relationship, you will enjoy reading other people¿s love stories and smile, because you already know that it¿s never too late to enjoy the magic of love.




How Not to Stay Single After 40


Book Description

How Not to Stay Single After 40 is a step-by-step program full of helpful hints, explicit goal-setting instructions, eye-opening anecdotes, and motivational thoughts specifically geared toward women over forty who want to find lasting love. As relationship expert Nita Tucker explains, "Women over forty think that dating is a very different experience--well, it is! What most women don't realize is that having a relationship at this point in their lives can be richer, happier, and more fulfilling." This results-oriented book teaches you that wanting a relationship is nothing to be ashamed of, that staying in a dead-end relationship will keep you from finding a thriving one, that there are simple and effective ways to increase the odds of meeting the right kind of people, and that you're a good catch and shouldn't hide it. How Not to Stay Single After 40 presents a unique plan of action for finding that elusive, emotionally fulfilling relationship. It shows you how to stop waiting and how to start making the connection happen. Unlike other relationship books, this one is about changing what you're doing, not about changing you.

40 Days of Dating


Book Description

“What would happen if Harry met Sally in the age of Tinder and Snapchat? . . . A field guide to Millennial dating in New York City” (New York Daily News). When New York–based graphic designers and long-time friends Timothy Goodman and Jessica Walsh found themselves single at the same time, they decided to try an experiment. The old adage says that it takes forty days to change a habit—could the same be said for love? So they agreed to date each other for forty days, record their experiences in questionnaires, photographs, videos, texts, and artworks, and post the material on a website they would create for this purpose. What began as a small experiment between two friends became an Internet sensation, drawing five million unique (and obsessed) visitors from around the globe to their site and their story. 40 Days of Dating: An Experiment is a beautifully designed, expanded look at the experiment and the results, including a great deal of material that never made it onto the site, such as who they were as friends and individuals before the forty days and who they have become since.

The Forty Rules of Love


Book Description

In this lyrical, exuberant tale, acclaimed Turkish author Elif Shafak, author of The Island of Missing Trees (a Reese's Book Club Pick), incarnates Rumi's timeless message of love The Forty Rules of Love unfolds two tantalizing parallel narratives—one contemporary and the other set in the thirteenth century, when Rumi encountered his spiritual mentor, the whirling dervish known as Shams of Tabriz—that together explore the enduring power of Rumi's work. Ella Rubenstein is forty years old and unhappily married when she takes a job as a reader for a literary agent. Her first assignment is to read and report on Sweet Blasphemy, a novel written by a man named Aziz Zahara. Ella is mesmerized by his tale of Shams's search for Rumi and the dervish's role in transforming the successful but unhappy cleric into a committed mystic, passionate poet, and advocate of love. She is also taken with Shams's lessons, or rules, that offer insight into an ancient philosophy based on the unity of all people and religions, and the presence of love in each and every one of us. As she reads on, she realizes that Rumi's story mir­rors her own and that Zahara—like Shams—has come to set her free.
