About this listen

 Author James Hollis' eloquent reading provides the listener with an accessible and yet profound understanding of a universal condition - or what is commonly referred to as the mid-life crisis. The book shows how we may travel this Middle Passage consciously, thereby rendering our lives more meaningful and the second half of life immeasurably richer.©1993 Dr. James Hollis (P)2004 BMA Studios Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Middle Age Crisis
