I was provided a media copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
What is you were having an existential crisis and need to pivot?
Are you slowing down? Do you feel invisible? Are your deeply buried
dreams threatening extinction? Do you feel you are having an existential
crisis? Welcome to the new paradigm - midlife - but all is not lost, there is a
mojo waiting in the wings. In the sandwich years, where the youth questions
your relevance and the elderly grapple with your middle age, Rediscover your
Midlife Mojo liberates you. The book gently guides you through ageism,
confusing technology, body challenges, financial turmoil, and empty nests,
urging you to sail forth. It philosophises amid your ramblings and imparts
wisdom on patience, vouth connections, mini-drama handling, and belief
challenges, convincing you to reclaim lost territory. Get ready to take risks,
start adventures, rediscover friends, and create those bucket lists. But,
before you ride into the sunset, any words for the youth and the elderly? Read
on; you'II know what to say!
As the years pass by, each one of us starts questioning various aspects of our lives. This book is a wonderful compilation of the learnings that anyone in their 50s, or approaching the big 5 needs to know. The book starts by exploring the definition of mid-life and then goes on to understanding the changes in one’s life as you age. The latter half of the book, however is where the book really shines. The second half of the book helps you with some wonderful nuggets of wisdom that one can implement in their lives. But again, the book is not just for the people looking for guidance during a midlife crisis, but the book has some valuable guidance that can apply to people of all ages. Nandita condenses the learnings and presents them in an easy-to-understand manner that helps you relate to the lessons in the book. The title of the book might seem to cater to the people in the fifties, the concept of the book will appeal to readers across ages. While reading the book, I could relate to the concepts, and some of them were quite easy to implement. The writing is easy to understand and the concepts that Nandita explains have been presented in a manner that is cheeky, funny and non-patronising. The book has tidbits of knowledge, introspection and activities that help you look within to understand the intricacies of life and to keep yourself motivated as you age. Nandita’s writings and letters are a fresh perspective on how to age gracefully and to accept changes in our lives with grace.
This is a book that I would recommend to anyone who is looking for
motivation to explore in their lives. It is a wonderful guide to life that will
motivate you to look at the brighter side of life. The book scores a 4.81/5 for
me.
Grab a copy of the book from a bookstore near you or on Amazon India.
