Recommendation

National Public Radio journalist Barbara Bradley Hagerty took two years to research the question, “How can I craft a meaningful middle life?” She interviewed neuroscientists, psychologists, therapists and college professors. She identifies and shares several themes that add up to a fulfilling midlife and old age: seek novel experiences, stay engaged, prioritize relationships and give back. getAbstract recommends her in-depth exploration of this stage of life to anyone nearing or in middle age.

Take-Aways

  • The widely accepted notion of a midlife crisis is not supported by research.
  • Midlife is a time of revitalization, change and a renewed sense of purpose.
  • Positive relationships contribute more to longevity than genes or any personal trait.
