In this inspiring and candid book, Jane Fonda, #1
bestselling author, actress, and workout pioneer, gives us a
blueprint for living well and for making the most of life,
especially the second half of it. Covering sex, love, food,
fitness, self-understanding, spiritual and social growth,
and your brain. In Prime Time, she offers a vision
for successful living and maturing, A to
Z.
Highlighting new research and stories from her own
life and from the lives of others, Jane Fonda explores how
the critical years from 45 and 50, and especially from 60
and beyond, can be times when we truly become the energetic,
loving, fulfilled people we were meant to be. Covering the
11 key ingredients for vital living, Fonda invites you to
consider with her how to live a more insightful, healthy,
and fully integrated life, a life lived more profoundly in
touch with ourselves, our bodies, minds, and spirits, and
with our talents, friends, and communities.
In her
research, Fonda discovered two metaphors, the arch and the
staircase, that became for her two visions of life. She
shows how to see your life the staircase way, as one of
continual ascent. She explains how she came to understand
the earlier decades of her life by performing a life review,
and she shows how you can do a life review too. She reveals
how her own life review enabled her to let go of old
patterns, to see what means the most to her, and then to
cultivate new goals and dreams, to make the most of the
mature years. For there has been a longevity revolution, and
the average human life expectancy has jumped by years. Fonda
asks, what we are meant to do with this precious gift of
time? And she writes about how we can navigate the fertile
voids that life periodically presents to us. She makes
suggestions about exercise (including three key movements
for optimal health), diet (how to eat by color), meditation,
and how learning new things and creating fresh pathways in
your brain can add quality to your life. Fonda writes of
positivity, and why many people are happier in the second
half of their lives than they have ever been
before.
In her #1 New York Times bestselling
memoir, My Life So Far, JaneFonda focused on
the first half of her extraordinary lifeÑwhat she called
Acts I and II with an eye toward preparing for a vibrant Act
III. Now we have a thoughtfully articulated memoir and guide
for how to make all of your life, and especially Act III,
Prime Time.
