But millions of women, raised to believe that success and happiness are based on their intelligence and accomplishments, face an unexpected challenge: the physical realities of aging. If looks are not supposed to matter, why do so many women panic as their appearance changes?</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: 17.1pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Their dilemma stems from two opposing societal views of beauty which lead to two different approaches to aging. Should women simply grow old naturally since their looks don&rsquo;t define them, or should they fight the signs of aging since beauty and youth are their currency and power? This Beauty Paradox leaves many women feeling stuck.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: 17.1pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <I>Face It,</i> by Vivian Diller, Ph.D., is a psychological guide to help women deal with the emotions brought on by their changing appearances. As a model turned psychotherapist, Diller has had the opportunity to examine the world of beauty from two very different vantage points. This unique perspective helped her develop a six-step program that begins with recognizing &ldquo;uh-oh&rdquo; moments that reveal the reality of changing looks, and goes on to identify the masks used to cover deeper issues and define the role beauty plays in a woman&rsquo;s life, and ends with bidding adieu to old definitions of beauty, so women can enjoy their appearance&mdash;at any age!</p></DIV>
