THE BOOK
Timeless WomenSpeak Of Feeling Youthful at Any Age
 Dr. Nancy dedicates her book, Timeless WomenSpeak Of Feeling Youthful at Any Age, to the more than 1,000 women who have shared their secrets for happiness while also speaking honestly about their fears of getting older.
Each chapter of her book tells the stories of four women in a single age cohort. Women’s interests, priorities and concerns are very different at different ages, so different chapters focus on women in their twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, and seventies plus. Dr. Nancy’s commentary as a clinical psychologist provides insight into the strengths and challenges each woman faces as she builds her most creative and successful life at every age.
Women will recognize their own truths in these stories, and gain validation for their own experiences. Extensive resources, tips from other women, and advice from experts make this a must-have companion for anyone who wants to feel youthful at any age. The book will be available in September 2008.
THE RESEARCH
Dr. Nancy’s research has revealed the things that make women feel youthful and successful at every age. Between 1999 and 2006, more than 1000 women from every U. S. state and several foreign countries completed The O’Reilly Women’s Aging Inventory, the O’Reilly Fear Survey, or participated in focus groups. The results also revealed their ideas about stages of aging, relationships among their attitudes and health behaviors, and understanding of their health risks, fears and concerns about aging.
This research makes a landmark contribution to understanding of women’s aging process. Portions of the research have been published in The American Journal of Health Behavior, a peer-reviewed professional journal. IN addition Dr. O’Reilly presented it in Honolulu in 2004 at the Annual Meeting of the American Psychological Association.
