Description of Your Book:
Physical changes, caretaking demands, empty nests, and losing people we love—all on too little sleep—are common midlife experiences. But there is so much more to the story. Dr. Shayna Kaufmann draws from original research on 619 women worldwide, her psychology and Zen backgrounds, and her own midlife metamorphosis to craft an intimate deep-dive into the messiness and joys of the middle decades.
Blending research and anecdotes with humor and heart, Embrace the Middle will reveal:
The real struggles, rather than pop culture’s narrative, for women in midlife
The many minimized and disregarded gifts that come with age
That you have a choice to either accept or reject aging
A mindful, step-by-step approach called SOFTT for how to embrace midlife:
Embrace The Middle is accessible, rich, and empowering.
Do you have a book event or announcement to share?
I have several book events over the next many months in the following cities: San Diego, Birmingham, Atlanta, Dallas, Portland, and New Orleans. As this book is also ideal for a book club, I will have a downloadable guide and am happy to join San Diego clubs in person and others virtually.
