 Great up until the last two chapters June 27, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book totally met me where I'm at as my son is a teenager and I'm looking to my life when he has flown the nest and I'm older and grayer. She has a great persepective on growing older and embracing it. Her book really helped me to not be so afraid of growing older as is so prevalent in our society, but to embrace my greatness as I get older. Her last two chapters left me bewildered. She totally moves into a rant about the world and politics and the only way to combat the bad stuff going on in the world is with LOVE. I don't disagree with what she has to say, but how did this book move in this direction? The last two chapters left me a little disappointed in her book in general.
 Ageless Wisdom, True Fulfillment June 3, 2008
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Bestselling author, Marianne Williamson, in "The Age of Miracles" is pointing toward a radical and ageless wisdom that can only arise, when we are willing to slow down from all of our thinking and doing to consciously engage the contemplative life.
Just as we physically mature through the many stages of human development - infancy to old age - we deepen in spiritual maturity. Truthfully, our calendar age and the appearance of the aging form do not play a role in our ability to realize the sense of joy that lies in the core of our being. Nonetheless, life is slower and we are wiser. This provides the perfect opportunity to turn inward; a type of going home to the heart.

Empowering! June 3, 2008
Over the years, Marianne Williamson's books and lectures have helped me to find and focus the central truths of my life. This beautifully written book is a reminder that midlife can be rich with wisdom and confidence. Midlife is a time of doing, creating and becoming on many simultaneous levels. My husband bought the audio version for me, and I resonated with it so strongly, I immediately bought a print copy for my mom.
 Self-indulgent and depressing May 31, 2008
13 out of 15 found this review helpful
I was so excited when I heard about this book, having just turned 50 and looking for some positive inspiration. Although I'm generally a fan of Marianne Williamson's books, this one was sadly disappointing. She seems focused on grieving the loss of her youth, beauty & energy in most of the book which I found depressing. Then she reverts to the same thoughts & prayers we've heard in all her previous work to try to reassure herself. Nothing new, uplifting or inspiring here. I returned the book before finishing it & got my money back-which I can now use to buy some rope to hang myself! (just kidding, but really, I did not like this book)
Grace, Wisdom and Maturity May 23, 2008
Marianne Williamson approaches the midlife state of mind with grace, wisdom and maturity. Having just entered my 4th decade, I was especially enamored with her fresh and compelling views of how life just keeps getting more abundant and fulfilling. Ms. Williamson is one of the most enlightened and spiritually inspirational teachers of our day.
