Life Reimagined: The Science, Art, and Opportunity of Midlife (Repost)

DEBUNKING THE MYTH OF THE MIDLIFE CRISIS A dynamic and inspiring exploration of the new science that is redrawing the future for people in their 40s, 50s and 60s for the better. There's no such thing as an inevitable midlife crisis, Barbara Bradley Hagerty writes in this provocative, hopeful book. It's a myth, an illusion. New scientific research explodes the fable that midlife is a time when things start to go downhill for everybody. In fact, midlife can be a great new adventure, when you can embrace fresh possibilities, purposes and pleasures. In LIFE REIMAGINED, Hagerty explains that midlife is about renewal: it's the time to renegotiate your purpose, refocus your relationships, and transform the way you think about the world and yourself. Drawing from emerging information in neurology, psychology, biology, genetics and sociology - as well as her own story of midlife transformation, Hagerty redraws the map for people in midlife and plots a new course forward in understanding our health, our relationships, even our futures. The research Barbara Bradley Hagerty has uncovered and writes about here - that physically, emotionally and psychologically we are in many ways better off in midlife than we were as young adults - is both unexpected and encouraging.
