#1 Bestseller in Adulthood & Aging and Mysticism

Dr. Bolen is celebrated by some of the most acclaimed women of the twentieth century like Isabel Allende, Gloria Steinem, and Alice Walker. In her book, Crones Don't Whine, she offers mature women thirteen qualities to cultivate personal growth during their crone years.

What is a crone? Life after forty doesn’t end. So why do most women treat it like it does? Put aside your midlife crisis and embrace the aging process with Crones Don't Whine. They're juicy and they trust their own instincts. Meditating, not groveling, and choosing the path with heart, crones are fierce about what matters to them. They speak the truth with compassion. They listen to their bodies, reinvent themselves, and savor the good in their lives.

Grow and behold. Forget about getting old, aging gracefully is all about perspective. As Dr. Bolen explains, crone years are "growing" years in women’s lives. In this new stage, women can finally devote their time, energy, and creativity to what really matters to them.

Thirteen essays and practices. Featuring thirteen brief essays and small practices, this lighthearted book gives listeners resources to turn to again and again.

Just what I needed

This book was just what I needed to hear from the point of view I needed to hear it from. As a 51 year old woman feeling lost in my 3rd phase of life. Thank you for this perfect advise!

Meh

It was just ok. It didn’t hold any depth to it. There wasn’t anything there to help with the being an elder, and having to navigate not only another “new” stage of life, but possibly the the one we realize we navigate alone.
I was disappointed, but maybe life itself is the only teacher/guide through this lad 1/3.
