More Information
Maturity and Tranquility
In middle age, our bodies, energy, sleep, metabolism, and mood undergo changes. This book combines modern medical knowledge about menopause in women and its counterpart andropause in men with Ayurveda, practical cooking, and everyday routines. Ayurveda is presented as a practical navigational system: How can I read my body better? What do my digestion, metabolism, sleep, and nervous system need now that is different from before? Which foods, spices, routines, and practices can help me move through this phase in a more stable, clear-headed, and enjoyable way?
At its core the book tries to shift your perspective: away from anti-aging and the pressure to optimize, toward maturity, self-management, and joie de vivre. The book is for people who don’t want to stay young at any cost but would rather understand transitions and live with pleasure. An undogmatic, well-grounded, and practical companion for people 40 and over that shows how to grow older with more ease and awareness.
