The Power Age

The Power Age is the ultimate guide to maturing with style, confidence, and influence.

Like fine wine, women improve with age--growing in financial, sexual, and spiritual power every year. So why spend your second act collecting dust or invisible on the sidelines? With this exquisite full-color volume you'll learn how to age like a pro. Candid, empowering guidance and interviews with style icons, world leaders, entrepreneurs, and entertainers who've made an art of growing older will show you that you are never too old to embark on an international or spiritual journey, to create a vibrant wardrobe filled with statement pieces, or to take the reins of your career and investments. With refreshing wisdom on how to manage everything from menopause, money, and mentorship to sex, stress, and skincare, The Power Age is like chatting with a circle of witty and wonderful friends and sisters. No topic--faith, grief, health, or finances--is off the table and no question is too sensitive to ask.

Original illustrations highlight more than fifty power age women of past and present--from the late and beloved Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Maya Angelou to Michelle Obama, Iris Apfel, and Julia Roberts--and appear side by side with pragmatic tips on keeping fit and healthy, embracing travel and adventure, and practicing self-care and reflection. In total The Power Age is a comprehensive guide to living your best life going forward, and one that ensures that the best opportunities for pleasure, freedom, and expression are yet to come.

"This eclectic survey of women who followed their passions will encourage and inspire."

"Illustrations of luminaries such as Michelle Obama, Patti Smith and Zadie Smith are a delightful feature of The Power Age: A Blueprint for Maturing With Style, but it's the interviews with a wide range of inspiring, accomplished women--all over 40 and most of them 50-plus--that make me want to buy a copy of this book for every one of my girlfriends."
