Having entered my own “power age” on my last birthday, I can highly recommend this book which rightly encourages women to celebrate “life’s second act”. Each chapter focuses on a specific area such as health, travel, style and altruism. Thoughtful editorial advice is interspersed with interviews with a medley of inspiring women including Helen Clark, Maggie Beer, Wendy Harmer and friend and fashionista Dijanna Mulhearn (also check out her fabulous new book on Oscars fashion). The Power Age would make a fabulous gift for yourself or for any friends celebrating a milestone birthday.
