Finally over 40

Book Review by: gauri oak    

Original Author: Susanna Kubelka
This abstract was translated from Endlich über vierzig
This book completely abolishes the taboo topic of oldage. It addresses every woman (men not excluded), who broods over the
thought "This cannot be all". If anyone harbours any fear of old age in their mind, they shall forego it after reading this book. Not only that, it evokes a desire in people to make something of their lives, it could be anything from starting a business at 50, painting or learning a new language. Even If one does not wish to embark on something new, this book boosts the self confidence and contributes towards the personality development of the the individual. Interesting is the historical digression of the youth cult of our times and how it was derived. Not many know that this is a relatively new phenomena and is self induced. The book is full of such amusing stories and examples of women on the other side of 40, who have transformed there lives into success stories. it rubbishes cliches like; younger man and older woman cannot be role models, older woman cannot look beautiful anymore, young rivals, trained women, sex and more sex and much more. Unfortunately women tend to unwittingly accept things that they had rather not do. In this book the women get a lot of playful advice. When a woman ceases to be passive, then the world belongs to her and then her age does not matter.
