A guide to the transformational midlife period for women, focusing on a longevity mindset and the importance of purpose that we find in so many bestsellers for men by authors like Arthur Brooks, Peter Attia, and Robert Waldinger.

Inspired by the author's viral articles and radio stories on the science of happiness and longevity, this book is a simple two-part program for women to reclaim their physical and emotional health:
1) start with the physical and get your basic health in order with a longevity mindset and program;
2) harness a set of emotional tools for self-discovery, reinvention and resilience, including rediscovering your innate personality traits and passions that have been pushed aside over the years and repurposing your skills and talents hard won through career and/or parenting for yourself.
While self-help books for women in midlife tend to be about menopause and hormones and/or written by MDs, as if women's issues are all about chemical imbalances and pathology, THE NEW MIDLIFE is a midlife reawakening with an empowering, essential message for women: this is the best time of your life
