Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D. (Unretired at age 87)
TOPIC-
author of Living
Without the One You Cannot Live Without.
Well into her 80’s, Natasha Josefowitz, Ph.D., has lived a full life. Some might
argue she has lived enough for several lives.
To say that she has been a trailblazer would be an understatement.
In 1980, Natasha wrote Paths to Power: A Woman’s Guide from First Job to Top
Executive (Addison Wesley 1980), which quickly became a bestselling guide for
women in the workplace. Natasha taught the first college course in the country
on women in management. In the mid-eighties, she became one of the first
female members of Rotary International in California.
Natasha has hosted her own television segment, appeared regularly on NPR,
wrote her own nationally syndicated column, and appeared on Larry King Show,
Sally Jesse Raphael, and Dr. Ruth, to name a few.
While Natasha has written several other bestselling books, her passion is poetry.
Now, at 87 years young, having recently lost her brother, her son, and her
husband, it is Natasha’s strength, her passion for living life, and candor that is
truly infectious. Living Without the One You Cannot Live Without (November
2013), is perhaps the most telling book ever written about pre and post grief. It is
a collection of powerful, gritty, candid, and inspiring poems about living life after
loss. It was recently named to Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2013.
