Fifty Is the New Fifty: Ten Life
Lessons for Women in Second
Adulthood by Suzanne Braun Levine
Keep This Book On Your Night Table
Ten lessons to maximize creativity and happiness in the second half of life
In this inspiring new book, Suzanne Braun Levine follows her
groundbreaking Inventing the Rest of Our Lives with fresh insights,
research, and practical advice on the challenges and unexpected rewards
for women in their fifties and beyond. Rich with anecdotes from the front
lines of self-reinvention, this book captures the voices of women who are
confronting change, renegotiating their relationships, and discovering who
they are now that they are finally grown up. Among the lessons are: “No” is
not a four-letter Word, on the energizing power of standing up for what you
mean and what you want; Do unto yourself as you have been doing unto

others, a new way of getting yourself to the top of the to-do list; and Your
marriage can make it, reassurance that changing your outlook doesn’t
have to mean walking away from your marriage. Shaped by Levine’s
empathetic and lively voice, this book is about wisdom, survival, joy, and
camaraderie. It reads like a conversation among women who know what
they are talking about and want to share what they have discovered.
Personal Review: Fifty Is the New Fifty: Ten Life Lessons for
Women in Second Adulthood by Suzanne Braun Levine
Having avoided all those other books proclaiming how great getting older
is, I opened this one warily and found myself intrigued, challenged, and
convinced - even on the eve of a Big Birthday, which might otherwise have
left me with nothing to say except, It's better than the alternative - I guess!
Suzanne Levine has crystallized in ten pithy lessons (each one deserving
of its own T-Shirt) the real truth about this life stage - for women, it can be
the best one yet, especially if we make it about the stage,which is full of
new possibilities, pleasures, and vistas, rather than about the age, which
buys into too many old myths and a few new ones about what 50, 60, or 70
is supposed to be like. When Our Grown Kids Disappoint Us: Letting Go of
Their Problems, Loving Them Anyway, and Getting on with Our Lives
