Description
We’ve all heard the term “midlife crisis” and the stereotypes that come with it. But what if everything you think you know about midlife is a myth?
In Primetime, Dr. Margie Lachman draws on her decades of research to debunk these myths and rebrand midlife as the optimal time for personal growth and satisfaction. A professor of psychology at Brandeis University and the director of the Lifespan Lab, Dr. Lachman has spent thirty years studying midlife from a lifespan developmental perspective. Her research reveals the myth of the midlife “crisis”, and other misconceptions such as people in their middle years can’t change and that it is the unhappiest time of life. In reality, only a small percentage of people report experiencing a midlife crisis; personality can change during midlife and many people have a higher sense of well-being and control. It is a time when most are still healthy, highly functioning, mentoring those younger and caring for those older combined with increased knowledge and experience and stronger emotion regulation.
This book reveals midlife as a critical time in the life cycle with high generativity and peak responsibility, as well as when we make choices that can impact our later years. With a focus on debunking myths, navigating changes, and planning for the future, she guides readers through making sense of the past and imagining future possibilities. She also covers the physical, psychological, cognitive, and social changes that accompany the middle years and illuminates the potential to harness a sense of control in the face of the challenges, constraints, and transitions.
