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.

Finding God in the ordinary passions of our days-Marianne Williamson returns to her spiritual roots, writing on the art of nurturing a thriving soul in a harsh world.

This book is about the yin and yang of American history: the miraculous combination of vision and politics that gave rise to our beginnings...and the current yearning of the American heart.

A compelling vision of a better America, and a prescriptive call to action for significant positive change.
