Books by Laura Lee
“Any boomer looking for validation, knowledge, inspiration and encouragement for their midlife journey should check out this book!” – Lisa Froman
Find Your Reason to Be Here: The Search For Meaning in Midlife is where I share what I have learned from years of research into the psychological legacy of boomers, where the idea of ‘midlife’ came from, and how boomers can make the most of this unique new stage of emotional development.
“In 100 pages, with an intriguing bibliography, this is a quick but comprehensive overview of our generation at this moment in the 21st century. Carter’s telling is at once realistic and optimistic—and her own story is living proof. “Why did I write this book?” she asks in her prologue, and then answers with a quote from Joan Baez: ‘Action is the greatest antidote to despair.’ Carter never looks at our generation through rosy glasses. Your even-handed reporting and your clear and compassionate writing help me understand the challenges and opportunities we all face. Thank you.” – Carrie Tuhy
In How to Believe In Love Again: Opening to Forgiveness, Trust and Your Own Inner Wisdom, I help you change your heart, your mind and your attitude, so you are ready to finally meet the right kind of partner this time. When YOU decide that finding the love of your life is your highest priority, this book will help you forgive yourself for past mistakes, gain essential self-respect, and learn to trust again.
My first book, Midlife Magic: Becoming the Person You Are Inside shows you how midlife can be a time of great renewal. I had to lose my marriage, my job, my career, and almost my home, before I woke up to the fact that things were NOT working out as I had planned.
Peppered with motivating quotes and resources, this dramatic story shows you how to turn your own crisis into a surprising and amazing time of new options and opportunities.
For extra help in changing your life, you may need a copy of the spiral-bound companion journal, The Midlife Change Workbook.
This workbook is designed to help you acknowledge and confront your own emotional barriers 
to getting the life you deserve now. Change your life step-by-step, while writing daily about your own feelings and thoughts as they occur.
This workbook is only available bundled with my first book, Midlife Magic. For only $20 plus postage, you can receive both directly from the Queen. Please contact her directly at: MidlifeCrisisQueen@gmail.com

Reviews of Laura Lee’s books:
About Feel like a Loser? “I love the way you write, with a ‘human’ voice. It’s like listening to an old friend. You speak from the heart and from experience, which lends credibility.” – Brett Newmyer
“There are many books about midlife crisis these days. However, there is something quite compelling about a writer baring her emotional soul to the anonymous reader. In Midlife Magic, Laura Lee writes a heartfelt and well thought out chronicle of her journey through leaving her abusive marriage and losing her job in her late 40′s to her successful rediscovery of her Self and her own power to change in midlife. Complete with a reference guide and peppered with motivating quotes and resources, Laura Lee’s book is a quick read, sure to give you a boost of inspiration for managing your own midlife crisis!” – Boomer, LA
“Midlife Magic reads like a talk with a good friend who really, really gets it. Instead of judgment and criticism for all the crazy thoughts and feelings that come with the territory of midlife, we get support, understanding and a conspiratorial, “I know exactly how you feel!”
Using advice, thought-provoking ideas and humble story telling, Midlife Magic inspires and guides us as we do the work of our own midlife crisis.” - Karen author of theBestKeptSecret.ca
“Hang on, it all changes!” Laura Lee’s mantra provides hope to all who are struggling with midlife crises. By reading her story, I realized that I am not alone, and it is OK to ask for help. Thank you Laura Lee!” –Barbara Weibel, author of HoleInTheDonutTravel.com
“Laura Lee makes her own midlife lessons–although difficult–seem essential, achievable, even appealing. I laughed my way through the pages, learning every step of the way. This book is a delight!” - Katy Piotrowski, career counselor
“Like a scrapbook of snapshots, Midlife Magic recounts a long journey through a series of adventures in self-discovery. It will certainly help a guy understand what all the fuss is about.” -Philip Persinger, author of Do the Math: a novel of the inevitable

Hello Laura Lee,
I wonder if you’d like to be WomenBloom’s next Guest Blogger of the Week?
You can choose a favorite blog post you’ve already done, or write one for the occasion! We basically post on the site and put you on the front page.
I hope you’ll consider it, you have a lot of good stuff here!
And BTW, congrats on an inspiring midlife makeover!
Allison
Your comments are so timely for me. I am currently in the blame game (myself) for leaving a well paying job for another one two years ago. I know that is truly living in the past, but now that I am an active job seeker, that old job and that old company doesn’t seem as bad as I thought it was at the time. I have to always remind myself, look ahead not behind.
