Being the Change

An inspirational and practical book about how to thrive in postmenopause, from psychotherapist Dr Stella Duffy

We live between a third and a quarter of our lives in postmenopause. But it's often ignored - and is often thought of as an ending, an afterthought. In Being The Change, psychotherapist Dr Stella Duffy argues that we should embrace postmenopause as an opportunity to finally live your life on our own terms. Postmenopause is not the end - it's a vital third act.

Drawing on original research, stories from the therapy room and Duffy's own experience of medical menopause after cancer in her 30s, Being the Change blends real life stories and practical exercises to show how this final stage of our lives can be creative and empowering. Duffy challenges and inspires us to live the postmenopause that we dream and plan and create for ourselves, unhooked as far as possible from whatever has held us back in the past.
