Creating a Miraculous Next Chapter
In this New York Times bestseller, a popular spiritual teacher and thought leader shows you that menopause isn't an ending-it's an opportunity for a powerful new beginning.
A revised edition of The Age of Miracles with new content from the author
There are times in life when one phase ends and another begins. In Midlife Awakening, our post-menopausal years are described as a "second puberty"-a time when an era of our selfhood gives way to something new.
This new chapter need not indicate decline. It can, in fact, be a time of spiritual awakening. While physical age and societal prejudices can form an emotional undertow for all of us, best-selling author Marianne Williamson guides toward the psychological power to counter that.
Blending soulful insight with practical wisdom, Williamson explores the emotional, spiritual, and psychological shifts that occur in midlife. Rooted in timeless truths, her insightful guidance will help you:
· Let go of what is no longer yours, so you can receive the gifts that are only yours now.
· Navigate the changing dynamics of age, so you can find your grounding in those things that do not change.
· Learn to forgive the past and embrace new opportunities for the future.
· Discover the growing momentum towards redefining midlife in the modern era.
For those in their 40s, 50s, and beyond, this is a compassionate and uplifting companion through the "new midlife"-a stage filled with unrecognized potential and untapped vitality. Whether you're feeling invisible, lost, or simply ready to reconnect with yourself at a time of change, this book will help you find strength in your softness, clarity in your chaos, and the courage to step fully into the woman you were always meant to be.
In the words of Emily Dickinson, "We turn not older with years but newer every day."
Your youth may be behind you, but your greatest power is only beginning to emerge.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure' - often misattributed to Nelson Mandela's Inaugural address - is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers.

In December 2006, a Newsweek magazine poll named Marianne Williamson one of the fifty most influential baby boomers. According to Time magazine, 'Yoga, the Cabala and Marianne Williamson have been taken up by those seeking a relationship with God that is not strictly tethered to Christianity.'
