Sometimes something we appear to have lost is simply something it was time to leave behind August 7, 2008
Marianne Williamson's latest book will uplift many who need to know and understand that reaching 40, 45, 50 and beyond is not the end of the world as they know it. Marianne's dry wit and own experiences help the book along but her profound understanding of the way women think and her intense knowledge of A Course in Miracles glues the whole thing together, allowing for an inspiring read that re-ignites any flames that may have gone out in your life (or perhaps ignites flames that had never been lit!).
I love the way Marianne sees mid life as the opportunity for a second (and sometimes a third) puberty... finally reaching the point in our lives where our personalities have matured enough to know how to handle the opportunities and challenges that we are faced with every day. Retirement is less about stopping work and more to do with finding and doing what is really our passion. At 40 or 50 we have (God willing) another 40 or 50 years to discover that passion and live it, knowing that all the experiences in previous careers and relationships with others have brought us to the point where we now, hopefully, know what to do with it all.
 What an Age of Miracles it is August 5, 2008
I found that listening to the book during a morning drive to work always left me in a postive light. I believe that it is a good reminder to each of us.

marianne williamson brings her knowledge and share the importance of reminding us how miracles happen on a daily basis. Middle age is no longer a drag since the baby boomers have found a way to extend their middle life for 15 years. Marianne tells us that life is about this moment, the present moment.

I am familiar with Marianne's popularity as a spiritual teacher and speaker and this is the first of her books that I've read. Here's what I enjoyed. She has an easy flowing writing style, a nice way with words. I sensed the entire book as her personal prayer for a greater embodiment of love by herself and hopefully others. I find this inspiring. However, on the whole, I don't feel that this book lives up to its title. Her contemplation on spiritual maturity seems merely hopeful, and thus shallow. She talks too much story for me and while reading it, I sometimes felt as if I was listening to her daydreaming about the meaning of her life. I didn't sense any real presence in this work. I agree that by and large the baby boomer generation is still fast asleep and waking up now would surely bring more light to play in our world. Yet, I am not confident that this book is a true wake-up call for the midlife reader. It reads more like an interesting coffee house conversation with an intimate friend. Those who enjoy waxing philosophical might like this offering. Sundance Burke, Author Free Spirit: A Guide to Enlightened Being
