À propos de cet audio
NATIONAL BESTSELLER
Jann Arden—bestselling author, recording artist and late-blooming TV star—is back with this funny, heartfelt and fierce memoir on becoming a woman of a certain age. The power, gravity and freedom she's found at fifty-seven are superpowers she believes all of us can unleash.
Digging deep into her strengths, her failures and her losses, Jann Arden brings us an inspiring account of how she has surprised herself, in her fifties, by at last becoming completely her own person. Like many women, it took Jann a long time to realize that trying to be pleasing and likeable and beautiful in the eyes of others was a loser's game. Letting it rip, and damning the consequences, is not only liberating, it's a hell of a lot of fun: "Being the age I am—that so many women are—is just the best time of my life."
Jann weaves her own story together with tales of her mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, and the father she came close to hating, to show her younger self—and all of us—that fear and avoidance is no way to live. "What I'm thinking about now aren't all the ways I can try to hang on to my youth or all the seconds ticking by in some kind of morbid countdown to death," she writes, "but rather how I keep becoming someone I always hoped I could be. If I'm lucky one day a very old face will look back at me from the mirror, a face I once shied away from. I will love that old woman ferociously, because she has finally figured out how to live a life of purpose—not in spite of but because of all her mistakes and failures."
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Storyteller. Counsellor. Life coach. Canadian singer Jann Arden wears all those hats—and more—in her latest memoir . . . If I Knew Then will strike vibrato chords with readers. Like her song lyrics, Arden’s phrasing is simple, authentic and rich. It resonates. She wears her wounds on her sleeve, and isn’t afraid to show her scars." —Winnipeg Free Press

50+ Hesitant? Get this yesterday
I've listened to this title over and over again and never tire of hearing Jan tell her story and take me with her boldly into these new waters I'm newly navigating north of 50. Thoughtful. Kind. Bold. This volume has been a great comfort to me. Hopefully it will serve you well too.

Spirit sister
You have accompanied my sisters and I throughout our lives at a time where we were a little younger. We sat and listened to you up close at the forum in Montréal. My sisters sing your songs, they can hold a tune. To listen to your words, I feel gratitude that you are with us. Thank you Jan, I love your authenticity.

Amazing book!
I loved this book so much! ❤️ I could relate to many things that she wrote about. At the end I was left with wanting to hear more and was sad when it was done. Jann is not only a gifted musician but a wonderful storyteller.

I love Jann
I like hearing her voice tell her story. Learning the chapters of life. And providing comfort in aging when you go against the “normal”

Heartfelt and wonderful
I grew up listening to Jan Arden as a young girl and was intrigued to see she'd written a book. I'm so happy I got the audiobook, hearing it in her voice was wonderful. And the book itself....wow! I only wish it had been longer. As a self professed "self-help" junkie this was far better and more inspiring than 99% of self help books I've ever read (even though it's not technically a self-help book). I've always had an inkling Ms. Arden was one of the few celebrities I'd like to meet and have a meal with and this book has convinced me of that. I hope she continues to write because I think she has a lot to share with the world.
