What’s Age Got To Do With It?

In addition to writing, I love to read. So when I heard about the opportunity to be a “Book Review Blogger” for Thomas Nelson publishing I decided to try it out. The first book I got was Robin McGraw (wife of Dr. Phil McGraw) What’s Age Got To Do With It? Below is my review of that book.

I’ve had this book for about 2 1/2 weeks now and am finally getting around to reading it and posting my review. I am one of those people, that when a book is really good (in my opinion), I can’t put it down until I’ve finished with it. This book was not one of those books for me.

I admire Robin McGraw for how well she is doing and the shape she is in at the age of 55, but in the first chapeter when she cites all the experts she worked with – a lot in the “industry” in California, it makes it a little daunting for the rest of us.

The book is broken down with each chapter dealing with a different aspect of a woman’s life. Some chapters were more beneficial than others to me. I did find a lot of good information in the chpater on nutrition. As a woman entering menopause and having a daughter on the verge of puberty, I am always looking for ways to improve our eating habits and health through nutrion. What is presented here is doable and not an extreme overhaul of a lifestyle.

The chapter on skin care for me was a little bit much. Due to the fact that the economy is what it is right now, it’s difficult for me to justify any sort of spa treatments or high end skin care regimin that she recommends. There are some home remidies that she also spells out, but even those are a little too much work for me.

While I would not have bought this book for myself, I am thankful for the opportunity to read it. It is not a book that you can read cover to cover in just a few days. There is a lot of information to absorb and digest. I would recommend reading it a chapter at a time or even skip around to the chapters that most interest you first, then go back and read the others.

One piece of advice she stresses through out is that as women we don’t take care of ourselves and don’t know our bodies the way that we should. With that I couldn’t agree more. We have to take care of ourselves; mentally, physically, and spiritually, if we are going to be any good to anyone else.
