A Book Review on Age and Spontaneity

Advertisment

Lisa Brunnbauer was born in 1950 in the City of New York City, where she was a bright young girl with dark hair and an easy going personality. Lisa grew up in a conservative family that raised her as if she were a girl every child. Her mother always encouraged Lisa to pursue her dream of being a professional dancer, even as she longed for the more glamorous life of a concert pianist or Broadway actress. She was also encouraged by her father to follow in her footsteps and become an opera singer, a dramatic actress or a stage director. It was only after graduation from college that Lisa decided to go out on her own and pursue her acting career, but it was too late, because by the time she was twenty years old, her career had taken off. Her early acting experiences included appearances on television programs such as “I Love Lucy” and “Fantasy Island,” but it was the directorials that really began to establish Lisa’s reputation.

Height, however, is just one facet of attractiveness that stereotypes often leave out. Brunnbauer’s text offers plenty of advice about personality, which is where the true beauty lies. The relationship between women and men inevitably includes issues of ambition, trust, honesty, respect, and so on, and each of these facets can become stifled within our cultural framework if we do not consciously explore them. Brunnbauer addresses many of these issues, and in doing so, she offers readers a much broader view of the dating experience than could be found in most standard texts on the subject. So if you are looking for a perspective on relationships and dating beyond your own personal experiences, then this is a must-read.
