About this item
New York Times bestselling author and co-founder/CEO of The Modern Elder Academy "reminds us all to savor the wisdom, self-knowledge, and joy that accompanies [the middle decades] of our lives" (Father Richard Rohr) and "provides a clear blueprint for creating the lives we want" (Gretchen Rubin) . The midlife crisis is the butt of so many jokes, but this long-derided life stage has an upside. What if we could reframe our thinking about the natural transition of midlife not as a crisis, but as a chrysalis - a time when something profound awakens in us, as we shed our skin, spread our wings, and pollinate our wisdom to the world?. In Learning to Love Midlife, Chip Conley offers an alternative narrative to the way we commonly think of our 40s, 50s and 60s.
