We're all familiar with the feelings of being overwhelmed and stressed; what Dr. Beck's book makes clear is that the way society defines women's roles virtually guarantees we'll be pushed toward the breaking point. Dr. Beck describes the five phases of reaching the breaking point, how it feels at the moment of impact, how women can transcend it, and how they can re-create their lives afterward.
Every woman's experience of the breaking point will be unique. Dr. Beck interviewed over three hundred women, from teenagers to eight-year-olds, who movingly share their stories of coping with their moments of crisis.
At the heart of this book is a call to quell the stress and strain we feel by reexamining the paradoxical way we lead our lives and reconnecting with our innate desire to do what we find personally fulfilling rather than what our social roles dictate. Beyond the breaking point lies the epiphany that will guide us to the next, more rewarding phase of our lives.
With a fresh, unpolarizing perspective and a welcome sense of wit, Breaking Point offers not a step-by-step prescription for getting unstuck, but rather a blueprint for change that all women can use to transform their lives.
