The subject of midlife has been dominated by the woes of aging—menopause, divorce, hormone replacement therapies, aging parents, and fleeing children. Now a broad-ranging new work by clinical psychologist Linda N. Edelstein, Ph.D., The Art of Midlife, describes the freedom and authenticity that can be made a cornerstone of the middle years. She describes three healthy and predictable phases. First, women relinquish old ways, untying themselves from the past and mourning the losses of youth and its illusions. By placing less emphasis on the needs of others, women can live more creatively and enjoy the present. The women Dr. Edelstein studied have been able to move to the next step, in which they reconnect to themselves. They regain their authentic voices, simplify life, and allow long buried aspects of themselves to emerge. Finally, women refocus their futures. With courage, they embrace new people, ideas, activities, and work—and pursue adult dreams regardless of external rewards.

The meaning of life is a common concern, but what is the meaning of midlife? With the help of illustrious writers such as Dante, Montaigne, Beauvoir, Goethe, and Beckett, The Midlife Mind sets out to answer this question. Erudite but engaging, it takes a personal approach to that most impersonal of processes, aging. From the ancients to the moderns, from poets to playwrights, writers have long meditated on how we can remain creative as we move through our middle years. There are no better guides, then, to how we have regarded middle age in the past, how we understand it in the present, and how we might make it as rewarding as possible in the future.

In an era where transformation is the only constant, Generation X stands at the forefront of a unique midlife transition. Born into a world on the cusp of technological revolutions, we've navigated the shift from rotary phones to smartphones, from libraries to the limitless expanse of the internet. But “Generation X: The Art of Midlife Mastery with Machiavelli’s The Prince” is not just another tome in the self-help genre. It’s a deep dive into the essence of navigating midlife with a guide who has transcended centuries—Niccolò Machiavelli. This book speaks to the Gen Xer who feels the weight of change yet recognizes the cyclical nature of history. It’s for those of us who’ve laughed, loved, and lived through decades of transformation, only to find that the core of human experience remains unchanged. J. Thorn bridges the gap between the wisdom of the past and the challenges of the present, offering a fresh perspective on Machiavelli’s timeless principles. This isn’t just a book—it’s a conversation. A journey through the trials and triumphs of midlife, guided by the astute observations of one of history’s most influential thinkers. “Generation X: The Art of Midlife Mastery with Machiavelli’s The Prince” is a rallying cry for Gen X. It’s time to embrace the shifts, to understand that mastery over midlife isn’t found in resisting change but in adapting the enduring wisdom of the past to meet the challenges of today. Fellow Gen Xers, this is your guide. This is your moment. Your mastery of midlife awaits. Grab it now!

Wrestling a sub-prime mortgage in the panic of 2008, a job to fix a toilet provides the opportunity to renovate a life. The loss of parents and two homes, a marriage ending and a business closure create a perfect storm of crisis for the author, forcing a review of his past to find solutions to live a more authentic future. A men's retreat begins a writing process, leading to a blog exposing the pain caused when, distracted by the business of life, passions go dormant. Within a year, old skis dance through moguls, instructing with his son a group of young children who teach him more about love and happiness than they learn. A dusty guitar is restrung after years of silence and new songs pour out as if guiding the author to sing a message of living passionately and following dreams. To showcase his original music, he forms a band and begins to play out, eventually making small tours and culminating on the stage of New York's famous Bitter End. On the pages in between, the book examines a childhood where the only real baggage seemed to be about a fanny pack's worth of being loved too much and suffering a father too abundant in talent to easily imitate his success. Captain of the football team who became a president of the world and a cheerleader for life, his parents modeled that anything is possible, but in retrospect, the author realizes that insidious expectations can lead to a lifetime of self-sabotage. In response, he redefines his relationship with his own son and begins to teach that communicating love is more important than setting a standard of excellence. The book opens on a moment when frustration overwhelms the author, broken down and stranded on the side of the road, forcing a decision that changes much larger in his life need to be made than just fixing his truck. In making renovations to his new apartment, he is able to recognize that his struggles in marriage and business have been the results of a deeper misalignment in his own heart. Fresh out of college in 1977 and onto Kerouac's road, in a story as dramatic as a novel, the adventure is described to build a sister's home over-looking the Pacific Ocean that ultimately changed the course of his life. Even with whales, fire and death, at the critical moment, the cliff-side idyll turned out to have actually suspended his commitment to a life as a writer instead of being the experience of inspiration he had wanted. Having adopted one family and tried again with another "from scratch", working to create a business that would make his father proud, the author finally relinquishes his desperate hold on these definitions of success and looks inward to find more satisfaction and a better relationship to the outer world.

“Anyone grappling with the bewilderment of midlife…will be at once provoked and comforted by this enormously wise book” (Dani Shapiro, New York Times bestselling author of Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage), from a psychologist who has worked for decades with people struggling to preserve and enhance their marriages and long-term relationships. People today are trying to make their marriages work over longer lives than ever before. But staying married isn’t always easy. In the brilliant, transformative, and optimistic The Rough Patch, clinical psychologist Daphne de Marneffe explores the extraordinary pushes and pulls of midlife marriage, where our need to develop as individuals can crash headlong into the demands of our relationships. “A book of good intentions and helpful advice and a worthy manual for spouses” (Kirkus Reviews), The Rough Patch addresses common problems: money, alcohol and drugs, the stresses of parenthood, sex, extramarital affairs, lovesickness, health, aging, children leaving home, and dealing with elderly parents. Then, de Marneffe offers seasoned wisdom on these difficulties, explaining the psychological, emotional, and relational capacities we must cultivate to overcome them as individuals and as couples. Blending research, interviews, and clinical experience, de Marneffe dives deep into the workings of love and the structures of relationships. Intimate and always illuminating, The Rough Patch is an essential, compassionate resource for people trying to understand “where they are” on the continuum of marriage, giving them a chance to share in other people’s stories and struggles. “De Marneffe writes with poetry, wit, and compassion about the necessity of struggle in the quest for true love. Anyone in any relationship at any stage of life could stand to learn from the wisdom in these pages” (Andrew Solomon, National Book Award-winning author of Far from the Tree).

A dynamic and inspiring exploration of the new science that is redrawing the future for people in their forties, fifties, and sixties for the better-and for good. 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.

This book explores the artistic routines and inspirations of amateur and professional musicians, fine artists and literary authors experiencing midlife. Based on ethnographic insight, it argues that creativity is driven by the pursuit of a 'mezzanine' in-between state where the anarchy of possibility is an antidote to the realities of middle age.
