Publisher's Note
Addressing everything from the aging process and marriage in mid-life (new or continuing) to work, retirement, and the search for new adventures, this collection of essays and interviews features contributions by Arthur Miller, Susan Cheever, Carl Sagan, John Updike, Larry King, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, and many others. 50 color photos & illustrations.

Industry reviews
Linda Ellerbee introduces this compilation of over 70 contributions by writers, psychologists, and figures in the public eye all of whom explore the positive side of being more than 50 years old. Selections in each of the six categories, e.g., aging, parents and kids, and values, will strike a chord with most older readers. Ranging from the introspective to the eminently practical, the articles are well-written literature that can bring tears to the eyes. What is missing, however, is firsthand accounts from ordinary folk who are not famous writers, anchormen, or columnists. Interspersed with the articles, taken predominantly from New Choices magazine, are short quizzes testing everything from regrets to family values to compulsive shopping. The book as a whole will help the reader understand "the real truth about midlife" but also all of life. Overall, this gift book will do especially well in bookstores but belongs in public libraries as well as in counselors' offices. Susan E. Burdick, MLS, Reading, Pa.
Moore 

This collection of essays, sidebars, quizzes for self-analysis and all manner of illustrations covers six main areas: age and aging, marriage, parents and children, friends and lovers, values, work and new challenges. Each section includes exceptional offerings. New Choices editor Deborah Mason discusses women over 50 who have had affairs; Susan Cheever interviews Arthur Miller on the meaning of family; Bel Kaufman contributes a touching piece on friendship; John Updike presents his views on mid-life with his customary smoothness. The finest essays are reserved for the conclusion, including Budd Schulberg's account of his struggle to preserve his idealism and Harry Stein's interview with the late William Fulbright on American parochialism. There are remarkably few weak entries, one being an inane piece by Peggy Noonan criticizing her parents' generation for not being introspective enough, although she concedes that coping with the Depression and WWII may have left little time for introspection. (Jan.)
Lopate 

Readers nearing the Big 5-0 (or other equally daunting birthdays) who prefer nuggets of wisdom to a heavier load are sure to find gold in this collection. . . . The interview subjects alone are remarkable: Charles (Peanuts) Schulz, Elie Wiesel, J. William Fulbright, Carl Sagan, and Arthur Miller (the last interviewed by Susan Cheever). Some readers will find many items in this volume either silly or shallow, but most will discover a few that are moving, involving, even potentially life changing. Annotation copyright H.W.
