The Shift: How I (lost and) found myself after 40 – and you can too by Sam Baker

3.0

I looked forward to reading this as I have been enjoying Sam Baker's podcast of the same name during my lockdown lunchtime sanity walks as she has had some excellent guests, and I was looking forward to some deeper insight. While she does write with bravery and honesty, I do have to agree with another reviewer that it felt very much like one long magazine article which verged more on that of a memoir than the advice regarding peri-menopause and menopause that the cover implied it would provide. This is not a terrible thing as I found the author's writing to be very relatable in some instances, though I do feel, as much as she tries not to make it seem as such, that she is obviously writing from a position of much greater current privilege than many or most readers may have.
