Her readers had found in her an alternative model of older life: someone who defied stereotypes, refused to become invisible and proved that all women can be relevant and take risks, no matter what their age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExploring the process of reinvention, Lyn shows readers that while you can't control everything, what you \u003ci\u003ecan\u003c\/i\u003e control is the way you think about your age and the creative ways you respond to the changes in your mind and body as they happen. Rather than trying to meet standards of youth and beauty as a measure of successful ageing, Lyn promotes more inclusive and empowering criteria by which to judge our older selves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEven with its unique challenges, being old is just like any new beginning and can be the best and most invigorating of all of life's phases, full of rebellion and reinvention, connection and creativity.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40986714243169,"sku":"9781399715256","price":17.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_21568458.jpg?v=1713274082","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781399715256-how-to-be-old","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
