Second Adulthood is a new stage of life for women over fifty. The first generation of socially emancipated women have reached an important frontier; they have fulfilled all their roles - daughter, wife, mother, career woman. Yet with longer life expectancy and better health they have no intention of retiring from the world. At the same time these women are experiencing an often bewildering array of physical readjustments: their brains experience a growth very similar to that in adolescence, they enter menopause, their sexual and emotional rhythms change. Such momentous challenges raise three crucial questions that each woman must answer for herself: What matters? What works? What's next? Drawing on interviews, science, trend analysis and her own struggles, Levine explores all the issues and offers countless stories of how others have answered those three questions. This is the inspiring handbook and companion for every woman entering these uncharted waters.

The Woman's Guide to Second Adulthoodidentifies a new stage of life for women over fifty - second adulthood. This generation of women have fulfilled all their assigned roles - daughter, wife, mother, career woman, all-around self-sacrificing nurturer. With longer life expectancy, better health and being the first generation of truly empowered women, neither are they interested in retiring from the world. Second Adulthood gives women another chance to make their lives - this time free of the limitations and expectations of their first adulthoods. Drawing on interviews, cutting-edge science, up-to-date trend analysis, and her own struggles, Levine shows that Second Adulthood women are not just older; they really aredifferent. Even current medical research shows that the brains of middle-ages women experience another growth almost as pronounced as at adolescence. These changes affect all aspects of a woman's life - health, sexuality, work, relationships - and The Woman's Guide to Second Adulthoodis the handbook and companion to take you through these uncharted years. Levine explores every issue, offers solutions and countless stories to answer the three big questions each woman wrestles with - what matters? what works? what's next?

New York Times bestselling author Julie Lythcott-Haims is back with a groundbreakingly frank guide to being a grown-up What does it mean to be an adult? In the twentieth century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they’re all valid, but any one person’s choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult. A former Stanford dean of freshmen and undergraduate advising and author of the perennial bestseller How to Raise an Adult and of the lauded memoir Real American, Julie Lythcott-Haims has encountered hundreds of twentysomethings (and thirtysomethings, too), who, faced with those markers, feel they’re just playing the part of “adult,” while struggling with anxiety, stress, and general unease. In Your Turn, Julie offers compassion, personal experience, and practical strategies for living a more authentic adulthood, as well as inspiration through interviews with dozens of voices from the rich diversity of the human population who have successfully launched their adult lives. Being an adult, it turns out, is not about any particular checklist; it is, instead, a process, one you can get progressively better at over time—becoming more comfortable with uncertainty and gaining the knowhow to keep going. Once you begin to practice it, being an adult becomes the most complicated yet also the most abundantly rewarding and natural thing. And Julie Lythcott-Haims is here to help readers take their turn.
