review 1: My mom brought this home after hearing Sarah Brokaw speak at a convention. Since I'm liable to read anything lying around the house, I picked it up and read it in about a weekend. It's self-help, obviously, and a little bit preachy at times, but overall I found it a quick, inspiring read. I could relate to several of the women Brokaw profiled in her book -- even though, at 27, I am not quite the target audience (but to paraphrase Meg Ryan's character said in When Harry Met Sally, I'm going to be forty! It's out there!). It's worth a read if you're in the mood for this sort of thing.
review 2: I bought this book because I was interested in what the daughter of a great writer like Tom Brokaw had to say. She is s therapist in California and injects informatio... moren and experiences that she herself has had. Fortytude is realizing that while you can' control what happens to you, you CAN control yor reactions to life's events.The fact that I read this book in a day and overnight while trying to recuperate from a lousy fall and resultant bruises and stitiches is a testament to how engrossing the book actually is. (I even took notes in my journal!)I recommend this book to any woman who is approaching 30, is 30+ or 40+, single, mother or not, and even in the slightest questions "Who am I? What am I here for?"No, really - this book will guide you and lead you and encourage you that you are a WONDER!Amen.(a little New Agey in the spiritual department - don't be offended, don't judge, just apply it to your own life as you choose to live it.) less
