Publisher's Summary:
The purpose of this book by best-selling author and lecturer Marianne Williamson is to psychologically and spiritually reframe this transition so that it leads to a wonderful sense of joy and awakening. In our ability to rethink our lives lies our greatest power to change them. What we have called "middle age" need not be seen as a turning point toward death. It can be viewed as a magical turning point toward life as we've never known it, if we allow ourselves the power of an independent imagination - thought forms that don't flow in a perfunctory manner from ancient assumptions merely handed down to us, but rather flower into new archetypal images of a humanity just getting started at 45 or 50.
What we've learned by that time, from both our failures as well as our successes, tends to have humbled us into purity. When we were young, we had energy but we were clueless about what to do with it. Today, we have less energy, perhaps, but we have far more understanding of what each breath of life is for. And now at last, we have a destiny to fulfill - not the destiny of a life that's simply over, but rather the destiny of a life that is finally truly lived.
Midlife is not a crisis; it's a time of rebirth. It's not a time to accept your death; it's a time to accept your life - and to finally, truly live it, as you and you alone know deep in your heart it was meant to be lived.
Members Reviews:
For Men or Women
What did you love best about The Age of Miracles?
embracing midlife, good stuff, I am 48 and it did help me a bit to accept this place in my life. There is more material here for women than men, but only slightly, I found it very useful as a man to understand myself and women in my age bracket. For anyone trying to Fight off midlife, you are cheating yourself, embrace it and live in more joy!

This is a must read for all Marianne Williamson fans over the age of 40. This book carves out hope and soothes the fears of middle age. Heart warming and thought provoking Marianne once again speaks directly to the souls of her listeners in her folksy, personal style.
