Unbelievable Book About Reversing Aging Process - For Men and Women of All Ages

"Sexy in Your 60's" is an amazing book that will surprise, inspire, and gratify you with its knowledge, wisdom, and straightforward style. Not only have I had the pleasure to read and review this book, but I also had the honor of being Joan's editor and learning from her directly how to reverse the aging process as we brought the book into its final format. Most stunning to me was that while the book is written by a sixty-four year old and very sexy female, its information is just as beneficial for men as it is for women-Joan's practical applications relevant to Body, Mind, and Spirit can help a man reawaken to his spiritual and sexual sides just as readily as any "crone" or woman of any age.

Women will love this book because Joan talks like a sister to them as she recounts her own experiences. She has undergone many of the trials and hardships women of her generation have faced-being expected to live a perfect married life, experiencing divorce, and having her own mother be ashamed of her when she gave birth to a child out of wedlock. Joan gave into the shame culture of her youth by giving up her son for adoption. Over thirty years passed before she reversed that mistake, only to find blessings had resulted from it. Her reunion with her son will bring tears to the reader's eyes. Her confrontation with her mother and her refusal to end for herself the cycle of fear and shame too many women experience make her one of the most vibrant voices of her generation. Joan is from the age group that led the women's movement, but she knows her generation's work is not yet done, for now they must fight the battle against ageism. Joan encourages women to embrace becoming "crones" as they enter post-menopause and become grandmothers, for "crone" is a word of great power whose true meaning of wisdom and strength has too long been forgotten.

Book For Men

Joan Bunney continually highlights the inestimable value and nobility of women. She focuses upon the ancient goddess culture and a woman's power to give birth-men have so much to learn from women and women's sacred past that only in the last few decades has begun to be reclaimed. Joan joins her voice with many other voices she humbly refers to as her mentors to help bring about this changing viewpoint on women's contributions to society.

But what about that word "sexy" in the book's title? Just look at Joan's pictures and you will be convinced by her sexiness. You might say, "Well, it's easy for her. She was born with that petite body-she was probably a model when she was younger." The truth is that Joan used to eat two-pound bags of M&Ms and had a career in restaurant management that revolved around food, which did not help her figure. Only in the last few years did Joan begin to study health and nutrition, and the result has been a reversal of her body's aging. She tells readers how they can also experience the youthful look she has acquired, which is not at all impossible, nor even a secret, by simply making some wise and common sense choices-choices she has made for herself as she explains in "Sexy in Your 60's."

Women of Joan's generation, and also women a generation older or a generation younger, will be inspired by this sister crone who encourages them no longer to live in fear of what men, their mothers, and patriarchal society think. Joan teaches women to shatter dysfunctional conditioning from fear-based restrictions. Instead, Joan guides women down the path to reclaiming their lost vision of themselves as goddesses, and she lets women know they do not have to age as their grandmothers did. Sixty may well be barely the halfway mark of a vibrant life if we follow Joan's advice.

"Sexy in Your 60's" is a book filled with resources. Not only does Joan tell her own story, but she constantly expresses gratitude to all her mentors for what they taught her. She discusses and provides access to over eighty resources, including books, websites, and films from which she has drawn her information, and she tells us her own experiences and the results she received from applying this information to her own healthcare routine.

And just look at her! She dates men decades younger than her; she lives a vibrant, energetic life, and "Sexy in Your 60's" is only the first of many books she intends to write. As a living testimonial that anyone can know joy well past age sixty, Joan Bunney has turned herself into the sexiest woman alive today.

Lessons From Iron John: A Book About Men

"By the time a man is 35 he knows that the images of the right man, the tough man, the true man which he received in high school do not work in life... I know a lot of men who are healthier at age 50 than they have ever been before, because a lot of their fear is gone."
~Robert Bly, Iron John: A Book About Men

When I first approached Iron John: A Book About Men it was a slap across the face - I, like possibly all men who read it, read it in isolation. But such a baptism of fire for my ego wasn't wasted, because it reinforced all the more the need for men like me - all men actually - to be connected with, and encouraged and empowered by other men - particularly older men.

Book For Men

The lessons contained in this book about men are as confronting as they are eternal.

Lessons From Iron John: A Book About Men

THE PROBLEM HIGHLIGHTED BY IRON JOHN

Industrialisation, amongst other Western ideas, including modern approaches to war, has meant that boys have been separated from their fathers psychologically.

This has caused boys to grow up fearful, angry and submissive, confused as to what manhood truly looks like. It may have been typical for boys and young men to have received more of their fathers' temper than his teaching; after all, the workplace has isolated boys from their fathers and the father may be far too tired at the end of a long workday to do what fathers should do.

But fathers, alone, cannot progress their boys through the process to manhood. Other men need to be involved. The communal model, based on the rites of passage schema, an initiatory model, is used. This is where indigenous cultures - for instance, aboriginal culture - are far more effective in traversing a boy toward manhood.

A big part of the problem, also, is society's view of men.

Men are typically to be ridiculed and not trusted, and our media supports these views. All of these negative stereotypes do - and they have been around for nearly 100 years - is make men feel even more isolated than they already are. And without connection to other men, men become lonely, depressed and angry.

IRON JOHN IS ABOUT MALE INITIATION

Perhaps it's a concept lost in our culture, but a very good reason why tribal cultures seem to have strong (read "safe") male identity is they take care to ensure their young males are initiated into manhood.

This process typically takes place about 12 years of age.

What can seem abhorrent in our culture - the initiation of boys - is a psychologically sound process. Boys becoming men (yes, at age 12) learn to connect with their Inner King - the inner warrior. And although Iron John is not a biblical text, it does line-up within a biblical frame - indeed, in biblical times such initiatory practices, including the involvement of the community in the development of the child into adulthood, would have been crucial.

When boys are initiated into manhood by other older men - not their father - they develop their emotional intelligence within a male frame. Other older men become for these younger men the "male mother." And the male mother it is that teaches the young man how to relate emotionally with his world.

The result is he is less angry and less timid; he is able to grieve; he is able to be honest with himself and others; he is therefore trusted and respected. He experiences less fear.

When a boy is shown how to connect with his Inner King he has access to courage, humility, and a safe sense of himself. This is a thing many young men these days struggle to connect with. Indeed, we may find ourselves reeling at the prospect.

But there is hope through narratives like Iron John.

WHAT IRON JOHN IS REALLY TELLING US

It seems clear to us that women are relational beings. Why is it so that men aren't? This is a critical question. If men are connected with their emotions they have no problem relating with other men. But if men are disconnected emotionally they distance themselves from the relational realm; they do not connect with themselves or others very well. The increasing sense of isolation damages them.

The challenge ahead, especially for us somewhat disconnected men, is to get connected.

Through connection, and through sharing life, our experiences, our sinfulness, our experiences of guilt and shame, we become liberated - just as God wishes us to be liberated.

As we share our lives we get to discover we are not that different from other men. This encourages us. We gather strength in our unity.

When we are liberated we become better leaders in our families; we are happier because we are fulfilling our roles; we are more courageous and more truthful; we have far less to lose when we realise that other men have the same burdens as us; confusion and anger and resentment become more and more battles won - and we don't need to return there so much.

The key in being men is being connected authentically with other men.
