Summary

The midlife years are only the beginning - a transformational edit for your very best life.

In 2019, Gail McNeill sold her cherished family home and moved to Portugal with just a few boxes of possessions. Soon after, the Covid pandemic enforced her isolation in a remote part of the world and sparked a cascade of introspection that led her to question every facet of her life, struggling to reconcile past choices with present reality. She started a journey of complete reinvention, from which she emerged physically, emotionally and spiritually transformed.

Now better known to her hundreds of thousands of followers as @fiftysister, Gail shares her story of midlife metamorphosis to guide you step by step along your own path to reinvention. Showing that it's never too late to transform your life, The Midlife Edit will show you how to build a cocoon nourished by dietary, lifestyle and spiritual insights from which you can emerge transformed and re-energized, to make the absolute most of your middle years.

Gail shows you how, by prioritizing self-care for just one year, you can unlock the secrets of health span, building strength and confidence for life, nourishing your body and your mind, and allowing you to enter this unique new phase of your life not diminished, but empowered.

Let The Midlife Edit inspire you to invest in yourself, to imagine the life you truly desire - and to be seen, as you never have been before.

Not well narrated, nothing inspiring sadly

Very disappointing and difficult to listen to. Was hoping to be inspired and motivated but found it repetitive and at times irritating

A bit disappointed

I’m a big fan of Gail’s and was really looking forward to listening to this book. But sadly it’s a very one person perspective, I get that this is Gail’s story but it’s wasn’t for a great listen. Maybe the book would be better when it’s read in your voice. Not sure what I was expecting from this book but it didn’t do it for me. It’s far too wordy and over elaborate which at times loses me as listener. Sorry Gail, I still think you are fab

Midlife Edit

On the whole a good book but at times it was like listening to Gail read an encyclopedia,my mind just wondered off with a bit of boredom,not a lot just occasionally,everyone's perception of how they cope and advance with midlife is different,I commend Gail for her very positive book,great for reference in the future.

Very Boring, it did not capture my interest at all

Found this very boring, I love Gail, but she is not flowing with this book as feels like she is reading someone’s else’s script, I had to stop listening after chapter 3
