Aging is a natural part of life, and it can be a positive and pleasurable experience. In The Beauty of Aging, author Angela Paul presents a candid and insightful guide for women over forty on how to live a youthful and joyful life at any age. Calling upon her own life experiences as a model, a marriage partner for more than twenty-seven years, and a long-time meditation practitioner, Paul provides a provocative, yet fun-filled roadmap to aging well. Divided into three sections, The Beauty of Aging addresses: The mind and the need to change outdated perceptions about aging. It explores how the sensual delights of pleasure and great sex start in the mind. The body and the issues of body image, self-care, healthy eating, exercise, and sleep. The spirit and the healing benefits of meditation, faith, service, and gratitude, and the transformative power of silence, solitude, and love. Confronting issues that come with growing older, The Beauty of Aging exhorts women to free their minds, love their bodies, and nourish their spirits to live joyfully and discover the beauty of aging.
