Concentrated Widsom for Juicy Women

Curious title, seriously good book. Dr. Bolen's ninth book is aimed at empowered women that have entered the mature stage of their life - the crone stage. The book is uplifting, yet realistic in its advice, and refreshingly free of fuzzy bunnies.

As the good doctor states in this book, whining is an attitude - one that blocks spiritual and psychological development. The purpose of the book is to provide 13 qualities that every woman should learn to cultivate - none of which include whining, but all of which are geared at providing a benchmark against which a maturing woman can gauge herself.

Crones don't Whine is only 105 pages, but not one of these pages is wasted. Dr. Bolen's experiences, and the knowledge she has shared in previous works have encouraged her to be concise in this book.

Although clearly aimed at women, I can see this book also being useful for a supportive male wanting to assist a loved one with their transition. And of course, it would also make a great present for Yule!
