In this ground-breaking book, well-known author and psychologist, Robyn Vickers-Willis writes about the importance of adults living consciously from midlife and beyond. Using candid interviews with others and her own personal experiences she provides a mirror for self-reflection. Drawing on current Australian and overseas research she debunks many of the prevailing myths about navigating the empty nest and then with insight and sensitivity explores a variety of practical tools and exercises for increasing self-awareness and self-navigation at this significant stage of family life.
