Are you almost over the hill? Know someone who is? Getting older is no fun, but it sure can be funny. How do you know when you’re approaching the big 4-0? Here are a few clues: * Comb-overs are starting to make a certain kind of sense. * A kid you once babysat for is now your lawyer. * At your checkups, the doctor has begun to ask if you’re still sexually active. * Midnight seems awfully late. * You’re more interested in websites that will calculate your Body Mass Index than in Internet porn. * You receive two phone calls in a single week from people who want to sell you life insurance. Whether you’ve just found your first gray hair or you’re peering around the corner to your mid-life crisis, You Know You’re 40 When… will tickle your funny bone (while you can still remember where to find it).

Have the courage and curiosity to face the inner changes of aging--and learn how they can help you find meaning in your later years. "I used to think that age sixty-five was the start of a slippery downward slope to the cemetery. But inside, I felt a surge of enormous energy, with the potential to approach aging as an uncharted adventure instead of a prison sentence." --from the Introduction Unlike other authors, spiritual director Linda Douty discusses the challenges and surprises of aging by talking about how you actually feel, not what you're supposed to feel. In a warm, down-to-earth voice, she offers a spiritually grounded method to adjust to the unexpected as you grow older. There is no one-size-fits-all here, but a variety of responses to the inner and outer transformations of aging and new ways of looking at them. She looks at surprises, welcome and unwelcome, concerning: - Self-image - The physical body - Relationships - Spiritual life Questions for reflecting on who you are in this period of your life--or who you would like to be--will help you live each day more purposefully and joyfully.
