The midlife crisis has become a cliché in modern society. Since the mid-twentieth century, the term has been used to explain infidelity in middle-aged men, disillusionment with personal achievements, the pain and sadness associated with separation and divorce, and the fear of approaching death. This book provides a meticulously researched account of the social and cultural conditions in which middle-aged men and women began to reevaluate their hopes and dreams, reassess their relationships, and seek new forms of identity and fresh pathways to self-satisfaction. Drawing on a rich seam of literary, medical, media, and cinematic sources, as well as personal accounts, Broken Dreams explores how the crises of middle-aged men and women were shaped by increased life expectancy, changing family structures, shifting patterns of work, and the rise of individualism.

Marc Freedman, hailed by the New York Times as “the voice of aging baby boomers [seeking] meaningful and sustaining work later in life,” offers a recipe for how we can transform America's coming midlife crisis into a midlife opportunity. Millions of people in their fifties, sixties, and seventies are searching for answers to the question “What's next?” and are navigating their way to an entirely new stage of life and work, one that could last as long as midlife. Shifting to a much longer lifespan isn't as easy as it may seem. Unlike the transition from adolescence to adulthood, managing this process for many is a do-it-yourself project. Drawing on powerful personal stories, The Big Shift provides not only direction but a vision of what it would take to help millions find their footing in a new map of life.

I'm a forty-four-year-old workaholic writer of paranormal romance whose love life happens on the pages of the books I write. Okay, so my mid-life isn't rocking the settled down, happily ever after life I'd expected. And if that's not pathetic enough, things just went from bleak to tragic as my mother died, quite unexpectedly. Her death has left me truly alone in the world. No siblings. No aunts or uncles. No more blood relatives. Just middle-aged me hiding out in my Boston studio while life passes by my apartment window, and I watch from the safety of my sofa and pajamas sucking down my favorite whisky and takeout. My mother also left me everything she owned--which I had believed was just her rustic cabin in middle-of-nowhere northern Maine. But I'm about to find out the mother who barely understood how to use a cell phone had a second, hidden life... in which, I inherit a murder mystery, supernatural secrets, and a magical destiny I knew nothing about! After forty-four years of living in the world, it's a suddenly wondrous, unfamiliar, and frightening place. But I think the scariest thing of all is the steamy ride down memory lane with the local lumberjack who's sworn to protect me, but who long ago broke my heart. I've never gotten over that rejection but even after all these years, working with him to solve a murder has my dormant, underused, and drying up hormones blooming to life again and I know the true thing I need protection from isn't my mother's inherited secret life, but from the unwittingly seductive Silas King.

Have you found yourself wilting in midlife, and wondering what you might do to flourish in your remaining years? Have you lost your way in the midlife maze due to a significant loss? Did you lose your job or desired career advancement? Did you separate or divorce? Did your last child leave home? Did your family experience a virtual storm of bankruptcy or lose your life savings in a financial meltdown? Did you or someone in your family experience the loss of good health? Or did you weather the death of a family member, partner, or friend? Your loss story is personal. Your path through winding passages during midlife is unique. Perhaps the most important encouragement for your grieving process is to know this simple fact: grieving is a natural healing response to loss rather than a pathological experience. Midlife can be a time of reflection, rebellion, or reconnecting to old or new interests and activities. It can also be a time when losses start to happen or begin to pile up – divorce, death of a loved one, loss of a job or home, the moving out and on of grown children—and learning how to move forward can be a challenge. Here, a seasoned psychologist looks at the geography of loss in midlife, the way it can affect us, and what we can do to get back on track or redirect ourselves when necessary. Through first hand stories and practical exercises, the author leads readers through the midlife maze to a place of recovery, purpose, and peace.

How social status shapes our dreams of the future and inhibits the lives we envision for ourselves Most of us understand that a person’s place in society can close doors to opportunity, but anything is possible when we dream about what might be, or so we think. Dreams of a Lifetime reveals that what and how we dream—and whether we believe our dreams can actually come true—are tied to our social class, gender, race, age, and life events. Karen Cerulo and Janet Ruane argue that our social location shapes the seemingly private and unique life of our minds. We are all free to dream about possibilities, but not all dreamers are equal. Cerulo and Ruane show how our social position ingrains itself on our mind’s eye, quietly influencing the nature of our dreams, whether we embrace dreaming or dream at all, and whether we believe that our dreams, from the attainable to the improbable, can become realities. They explore how inequalities stemming from social disadvantages pattern our dreams for ourselves, and how sociocultural disparities in how we dream exacerbate social inequalities and limit the life paths we believe are open to us. Drawing on a wealth of original interviews with people from diverse social backgrounds, Dreams of a Lifetime demonstrates how the study of our dreams can provide new avenues for understanding and combatting inequality—including inequalities that precede action or outcome.

God has a wonderful plan for your life and he wants you to live it! That is the life-changing message of this study of Joseph. The story of Joseph is a truly inspiring account of someone who literally 'lived his dream' and Dave Smith, leader of Kingsgate Community Church, Peterborough, takes this story and looks at five different levels to help you transform your life whatever stage of life you may be in. The story of Joseph is particularly helpful because it shows us the progression of God's dealings in a person's life and therefore has the power to speak to us through all the seasons of our life. Dave Smith has taught on lessons from the life of Joseph in many forums - from large celebration gatherings, to smaller conferences for church leaders, to Bible studies for Christian MPs and workers in Parliament.
