Understanding the Mid-Life Crisis

"Understanding the Mid-Life Crisis" is a well-known book by Australian psychologist Dr. Peter O’Connor which is in its eighth printing. [ [http://www.booktopia.com.au/understanding-the-mid-life-crisis/prod9780725103743.html Understanding the mid-life crisis] ] The book suggests that:

*The period between the ages thirty-five and forty-five is a time of crisis for many men, a time when feelings of frustration and personal inadequacy may surface and strains in marriage may be felt.

*The mid-life crisis is a stage when many men are plagued by feelings that their life has no meaning or that their physical and mental powers are spent.

*This time of apparent crisis can also be seen as a creative challenge, as a stimulus for deeper understanding and growth.

* It can be a time of coming to terms with yourself, understanding more about yourself, and a time for taking new directions. [ [http://www.booktopia.com.au/understanding-the-mid-life-crisis/prod9780725103743.html Understanding the mid-life crisis] ]
