in which she adapts the stories of more than two dozen people she interviewed into short vignettes that explore why we fear aging.
Justine Bateman holds a copy of her book at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books on April 24, 2022.“I feel like once one discovers why they’ve adopted an idea, it’s easier to then let go of it cuz you’re like, oh, is that why I’m thinking that then I don’t need to think that anymore,” she said. “I think this general idea that your face is broken and needs to be fixed, seems to be pretty prevalent all over. And you know, the good news is that we don’t have to subscribe to it.
“Even for anyone else who has done work on their faces, like it’s fine. It’s your body and skin and hair and you can do whatever you want to it. But if there was a fear that generated that action, it would behoove you to deal with that fear so that it doesn’t stick around for the rest of your life and drive you to do other things and make you feel just unsatisfied no matter what you do,” Bateman said.

Crafting a Retention Strategy for Your Family BusinessFamily businesses offer the promise of close-knit family-like cultures that attract employees with similar values, but management must live up to this promise in order to retain employees. Family firms should lean into their unique advantages by fostering a sense of togetherness and shared identity among company personnel. Doing so will create a productive workplace and help insulate employees from thoughts of quitting and the temptation of offers from other firms. Family business managers may often be unable to offer monetary incentives to induce retention, but they should not settle into the belief that there is nothing they can do.
