<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Discusses how to deal with aging through a program that identifies "uh-oh" moments, negative internal messages, and how people and phases in life contribute to an individual's opinion about the process.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Intellectually, we understand aging. So why does the first wrinkle or gray hair send us into an emotional tailspin? As smart women who were raised to believe that success and happiness are based on intelligence and accomplishments, many of us never expected to feel this deeply about a seemingly superficial issue. But let's face it, we do! While individually we were taught that beauty is only skin deep, our youth-obsessed culture reinforces the notion that beauty is our currency, our power, and what makes us female. These conflicting messages leave many women feeling trapped in a web of confusion. Do we grow old naturally, since our looks don't define us, or do we fight the signs of aging, since beauty and youth are prized so dearly? As models turned psychotherapists, <b>Vivian Diller, Ph.D., </b> and <b>Jill Muir-Sukenick, Ph.D., </b> have had the opportunity to examine the world of beauty from two very different vantage points--one where looks are all-important, and the other where they are often viewed as irrelevant. This unique perspective helped them develop a six-step program that starts with recognizing "uh-oh" moments, examines the emotional impact of aging on self-image, and ends by suggesting innovative ways to approach beauty throughout life, so you can enjoy your appearance--at any age!<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Vivian Diller, Ph.D., </b> is a clinical psychologist in private practice in New York City.
