NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An A-to-Z guide to living and aging well by #1 bestselling author, actress, and workout pioneer Jane Fonda In this unique, candid, and inspiring book, Jane Fonda explores how midlife and beyond can be the time when we become our most energetic, loving, and fulfilled selves. Highlighting new research and sharing stories from her own life and from the lives of others, she outlines the 11 key ingredients to vitality—from exercise and diet, to forging new pathways in the brain, to loving, staying connected, and giving of oneself. She explains how performing a life review helped her clarify goals and move ahead, and shows how we can do this too. In Prime Time, Jane Fonda offers an empowering vision for how to live your best life, for all of your life.
Jane Fonda’s Words of Politics and Passion collects Fonda’s most stirring public statements from 1970 through 2005, in speeches, interviews, and articles from over thirty years of tireless campaigning against war and militarism and on behalf of women’s rights, women’s health, feminism, and the environment. Historian Mary Hershberger “has unearthed a treasure trove,” according to Ms. magazine. “Whether discussing peace, feminism or girls’ empowerment, [Fonda] is thoughtful, courageous and always committed to the betterment of others.”In 1970, at the height of an award-winning acting career, Jane Fonda took a sharp turn into politics. She would go on to play an influential role in the anti–Vietnam War movement and in nearly every subsequent movement for social justice in the United States.Hershberger has culled Fonda’s words from a range of little-known and previously inaccessible sources, including the declassified FBI files obtained by Fonda herself in a federal lawsuit, and from antiwar movement archives that have never been made available to a general public.
In the process of writing this book I discovered there were clear, broad, even universal themes that ran through my life, a coherent arc to my journey that, if I could be truthful in the telling, might provide a road map for other women as they face the challenges of relationships, self-image, and forgiveness. What I did not anticipate was how my journey would also resonate with men.America knows Jane Fonda as actress and activist, feminist and wife, workout guru and role model. In this extraordinary memoir, Fonda shows that she is much more. From her youth among Hollywood’s elite to her film career and her activism today, Fonda reveals intimate details and personal truths she hopes can provide a lens through which others can see their lives and how they can live them a little differently. Surprising, candid, and wonderfully written, My Life So Far is filled with insights into the personal struggles of a woman living a remarkable life.
A call to action from Jane Fonda, one of the most inspiring activists of our time, urging us to wake up to the looming disaster of climate change and equipping us with the tools we need to join her in protest"This is the last possible moment in history when changing course can mean saving lives and species on an unimaginable scale. It's too late for moderation."In the fall of 2019, frustrated with the obvious inaction of politicians and inspired by Greta Thunberg, Naomi Klein, and student climate strikers, Jane Fonda moved to Washington, DC to lead weekly climate change demonstrations on Capitol Hill. On October 11, she launched Fire Drill Fridays (FDF), and has since led thousands of people in non-violent civil disobedience, risking arrest to protest for action. In her new book, Fonda weaves her deeply personal journey as an activist alongside conversations with leading climate scientists, and discussions of specific issues, such as water, migration, and human rights, to emphasize what is at stake. Most significantly, Fonda provides concrete solutions, and things the average person can do to combat the climate crisis in their community.No stranger to protest, Fonda's life has been famously shaped by activism. And now, she is once again galvanizing the public to take to the streets. Too many of us understand that our climate is in a crisis, and realize that a moral responsibility rests on our shoulders. 2019 saw atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases hit the highest level ever recorded in human history, and our window of opportunity to avoid disaster is quickly closing. We are facing a climate crisis, but we're also facing an empathy crisis, an inequality crisis. It isn't only earth's life-support systems that are unraveling. So too is our social fabric. This is going to take an all-out war on drilling and fracking and deregulation and racism and misogyny and colonialism and despair all at the same time.As Annie Leonard, Executive Director of Greenpeace US and Fonda's partner in developing FDF, has declared, "Change is inevitable; by design, or by disaster." Together, we can commandeer change for the positive--but it will require collective actions taken by social movements on an unprecedented scale. The problems we face now require every one of us to join the fight. The fight for not only our immediate future, but for the future of generations to come.100% of the author's net proceeds from What Can I Do? will go to Greenpeace

Nell’autunno del 2019, frustrata dall’inazione dei politici e ispirata da Greta Thunberg, Naomi Klein e dagli scioperi studenteschi, Jane Fonda ha deciso che sarebbe scesa in piazza per protestare contro il cambiamento climatico di fronte al Campidoglio, a Washington D.C. L’11 ottobre ha inaugurato così i Fire Drill Fridays, i “venerdì dell’esercitazione antincendio”, e da allora, ogni settimana, ha guidato migliaia di persone in una disobbedienza civile non violenta di grandissimo successo, che l’ha portata a essere arrestata più volte. In questo libro, che non vuol essere solo l’ultimo atto di testimonianza di una donna che si è sempre battuta per l’ambiente ma soprattutto una call to action pratica che fornisce gli strumenti necessari perché tutti possano darsi da fare, Jane Fonda intreccia il suo viaggio personale con le testimonianze di esperti, ambientalisti, attivisti che si sono uniti alla sua lotta per analizzare in profondità le questioni cruciali del nostro la condizione degli oceani e la scarsità dell’acqua, la necessità di leadership femminile, i migranti, i diritti umani, gli effetti della guerra e del militarismo sul clima, la plastica, l’agricoltura sostenibile… Tutte tematiche profondamente legate tra loro che evidenziano come la situazione che stiamo affrontando non sia soltanto un’emergenza climatica, ma una crisi di portata ben più ampia in cui le conseguenze negative dell’inquinamento si riflettono su precisi contesti razziali, economici, di genere e di non è solo l’ecosistema della Terra che si sta sgretolando, ma tutto il nostro tessuto sociale. Proprio per questo, con la passione, la forza, l’intelligenza e la femminilità che caratterizzano da sempre le sue battaglie, Jane Fonda ci chiede a gran voce di stare uniti e di lottare insieme per salvare non tanto il nostro futuro immediato, ma quello delle generazioni a venire.
