As a psychotherapist and author with more than 20 years of experience, I’ve had the chance to delve into the realities and the myths of midlife—and the findings are inspiring. The reality is, it’s taking us all a little bit longer to grow up and with the advances of modern medicine, it’s about time we fundamentally change the way we think about and see our future. Midlife can be a remarkable time. We have a lot of years ahead of us. This is not the time to retire our goals or fade into the backdrop of life.
