Media reviews

"Suzanne Braun Levine's honest and empowering book is the antidote to all those anti-aging creams and glum pronouncements about life after fifty. It explains why for me, and for so many other women, this has turned out to be the most free, creative, and rewarding time of life."
-Isabella Rossellini

"Finally, fifty comes of age! Levine's concept of Second Adulthood confirms what women have been telling each other in private - this is a wonderful stage and we can each claim it in our own way."
-Marlo Thomas

"No more pretended youth! Suzanne Braun Levine shows us the wisdom and joys of living in our own personal present. For women who have been pressured into living the past over and over again, Fifty Is the New Fifty is the first true Age Liberation."
Gloria Steinem

"Fifty is the New Fifty is just what I expected from Suzanne Braun Levine--useful, comforting, and smart."
-Jane Fonda
