Baby Boomers Unite! We DO Want It Now!
.Any kind of riders
on any kind of storm,
use what you want,
discard the rest.
Stick with honest-to-God's truth: God.
Cheer yourselves on with that Julia Roberts' tornado enthusiasm,
that full-bodied, knuckles-to-the-universe
"Whoh! Whoh! Whoh! Whoh! Whoh!"
Love,
Kerrie

Mapping this book against time
Conceptually excellent, but a dismally dreary read.Ever been at a cocktail party where you meet someone who tells an interesting story, but takes half an hour to do it, because of all the needless peripheral information. Sheehy personified. She fails to hold my attention with tediously drawn-out examples which lack pith and focus. An good editor would halve the length and double the value. The content is not bad, it just takes so damn long to get to the point.
Very Ameri-centric.

New Passages Really Helped
I found Sheehy's second "Passages" book almost as good as the first. As an aging baby boomer, the issues of recharting my life direction at middle age has been daunting to say the least. Second Passages provided the structure for this process. I also suggest "The Second Journey" by T. Athey as another good book - more focus on the issues of the Baby Boomer generation.Platonix
