Overview

It's time to challenge tired stereotypes surrounding women and ageing and embrace the growth and freedom that comes from getting older They say the only thing scarier than ageing is not ageing at all, but how many of us truly live like this is true? For some, turning another decade older is a milestone they'd rather not mark. But when Katie Piper turned forty, it was only cause for celebration. With an acid attack causing her to stare death in the face at age twenty-four, Katie's approach to ageing was changed irrevocably. In a world where women have too often been made to feel irrelevant or invisible for going through the natural ageing process, she now sees each passing day as life's greatest gift - but you don't need to go through trauma to give your views on ageing a much-needed overhaul. Every day is a Gift will challenge deeply ingrained thinking about ageing and offer a positive, life-enhancing alternative. With essays on everything from the beauty of laughter lines to seeing the joy in slowing down, this book will make ageing a club women want to be a part of - one that sees ageing as synonymous with growing, learning, connection, creativity and freedom. It's time to embrace today and look forward to the future with confidence.
