Creating Magic in Midlife: 101 Questions and Answers to Reinvent Work, Relationships and Your Life!
Pre-released at BEA, New York, June, 2005

"Baby Boomers are like no others—feisty, restless for more, never satisfied with the status quo, and ready to turn the face of aging inside out now!" says Karla Freeman, author of Creating Magic in Midlife. With 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist, international speaker and workshop leader, radio host, and documentary filmmaker, she has written a down to earth book inviting 76,000,000 midlife Boomers to create their magical lives.

After 10 years of intensive research, Freeman has come up with 101 of the most important questions for living the second half of their lives with aliveness and joy. In her answers to questions such as: "How do you define midlife?" and "Why bother?", she gives optimistic and realistic direction. Even though Freeman's approach is friendly and light, her message is radical. Change and transformation are not only possible, they are vital to one's health and well-being. Using this book as a resource, midlife crisis can be dealt a blow, along with the depression and anxiety so common at this stage. Men and women from 40s to 60s can relate to the book's hopeful and practical approach.

Creating Magic in Midlife is easy to use with short chapters divided into four sections: finding your mission; relationships; health and well-being; and work, money and passion where the reader finds stories, tools, guidance and support. Question/answer format lends itself to either reading each question and answer in order or flipping around to pertinent questions on anything from dealing with aging parents, to how much money does someone need to live a magical life?

Creating Magic in Midlife is timely and pertinent as demonstrated by Time magazine's cover story of May 16, 2005, "Midlife Crisis…Bring it On." As one Baby Boomer turns 50 every 7 seconds, Creating Magic in Midlife and Karla Freeman are well positioned to appeal to this powerful cultural phenomenon.
