Being 40 by Stacey Lindsay
An empathetic, practical, and deeply relatable exploration of midlife today-and a field guide to do it your way.AN OPEN FIELD BOOK FROM MARIA SHRIVER
Your forties can feel like navigating a relentless wave of pressure. Questions such as "Am I where I 'should' be?", "Should I be married?", "Have kids?", "Switch careers?" often dominate our thoughts. For too long, society has marked this decade as one of decline and predictability. Today, though, it's anything but. Shaped by thrilling possibilities, your forties can be a time of profound self-discovery. You know yourself better than ever, and are finally ready to let go of the "shoulds."
In Being 40, journalist Stacey Lindsay crafts a new narrative that captures the diverse experiences of women entering midlife today, shattering the limiting stories. Through insights from experts such as Dene Logan, Vanessa Cornell, and Tara Mohr; candid interviews with real women; and her own journey, Lindsay provides a modern, bold exploration of marriage and relationships, living with and without kids, beauty standards, career transitions, and health shifts. Each chapter includes questions and prompts to help you uncover what you truly desire in this phase of life.
Being 40 is a brave and inclusive reframing of what it means to be a woman today, and a compass for anyone ready to trust their intuition, embrace change, and step fully into who they are.
