Written with the sharp humor of someone who’s seen it all and the scientific curiosity of a biology nerd, this tactical survival guide calls out the middle-age struggles no one wants to talk about—from grief and feelings of shame to keeping love alive and managing fickle hormones. Through raw, relatable stories of misadventure and an exploration into the neuroscience behind our struggles, it offers the empathy and straight talk missing from the overly positive “guru” market. No meditations, no mantras. Just brutal honesty and laughs.

Amanda’s writing makes me feel like I’m sitting in the room chatting with her. Witty, and very relatable.
The pop cultural references had me laughing and full of nostalgia.
A masterclass in vulnerability. This book took me from tears to laughter over and over again—a must-read for anyone past 40.
