So I just read this article entitled "Career Women at Midlife: Sadder and Sicker" published in BusinessWeek and I can totally relate. And that scares me. Apparently, there's a common theme among women who are reaching their 40's and instead of enjoying what they've achieved, they're too stressed and exhausted to even notice what they have. The article cites statistics from six major "happiness" studies that showed how women become sicker and sadder as they age. And the demographics don't matter a bit. You can be rich or poor, average or gorgeous, whatever racial or cultural background -- it doesn't matter. Women across the board are NOT happy.
But how can this be, when here we are at a time when women are making more strides than ever in all kinds of areas? We can have it all, right?...... or can we?
Read the article and let me know what you think.
