　　THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Millions of readers literally

defined their lives through Gail Sheehy s landmark bestseller

Passages. Seven years ago she set out to write a sequel, but

instead she discovered a historic revolution in the adult life

cycle. . . People are taking longer to grow up and much longer to

die. A fifty-year-old woman--who remains free of cancer and heart

disease-- can expect to see her ninety-second birthday. Men, too,

can expect a dramatically lengthened life span. The old

demarcations and de*ions of adulthood--beginning at twenty-one

and ending at sixty-five--are hopelessly out of date. In New

Passages, Gail Sheehy discovers and maps out a completely new

frontier--a Second Adulthood in middle life."Stop and recalculate,"

Sheehy writes. "Imagine the day you turn forty-five as the infancy

of another life." Instead of declining, men and women who embrace a

Second Adulthood are progressing through entirely new passages into

lives of deeper meaning, renewed playfulness, and

creativity--beyond both male and female menopause. Through hundreds

of personal and group interviews, national surveys of professionals

and working-class people, and fresh findings extracted from fifty

years of U.S. Census reports, Sheehy vividly dramatizes these newly

developing stages. Combining the scholar s ability to synthesize

data with the novelist s gift for storytelling, she allows us to

make sense of our own lives by understanding others like Passages

tells us we have the ability to customize our own life cycle. This

groundbreaking work is certain to awaken and permanently alter the

way we think about ourselves."SHEEHY CLEARLY STATES IDEAS ABOUT

LIFE THAT HAVE NEVER BEFORE BEEN AS CLEARLY STATED."--Los Angeles

Times Book Review"AN OPTIMISTIC ANALYSIS OF ADULT DEVELOPMENT IN

PESSIMISTIC TIMES. . . It is grounded in the economic and

psychological realities that make adult life so complex

today."--The New York Times Book Review
