In her practice as a licensed therapist, Sarah Brokaw has
developed a specialty: pointing out how women sail
beautifully into their most productive and satisfying years. For years she has run a six-week workshop series in which
women of diverse backgrounds meet, share, and support each
other in achieving professional and personal goals. She now
also facilitates discussion groups on the topic all across
the country--from Provo, Utah, to Oxford, Mississippi, from
Livingston, Montana, to Washington, D.C. Through these
groups and discussions, Brokaw has identified five
Sustaining Core Values held by those women who navigate
midlife most smoothly. In Forty-tude, she shows how any woman can foster these
qualities in herself: - Grace arises when a woman lives with integrity,
capitalizing on her own strengths while admiring the
strengths of others without jealousy; - Connectedness derives from a woman's satisfaction with the
connections she has with others; - Accomplishment--the sense of it--is necessary in today's
world, when women are expected to cram forty-eight hours of
living into every twenty-four-hour day; - Adventure requires a willingness to seek experiences or
challenges outside the normal comfort zone; - Spirituality reflects the crafting of a personal approach
to religion, and an understanding that life is more than
just the day-to-day details.
