Is there really such a thing as a midlife crisis - a true crisis in a person's life that happens in midlife? Yes, there is. But fortunately for most of us, it is a fairly rare event. Unlike the midlife crisis, a midlife transition is a quasi-universal reaction to the major changes that take place in midlife, mentally, physically and in relationships. This book describes the powerful, dynamic forces that underlie both the midlife crisis and midlife transition and provides, through clinical case material, a detailed description of each.

Dr. Calvin Colarusso explains why adults need to play, maybe not as much as children do, but for the same reasons. Play is a way of mastering stress and trauma. It serves the same purpose for children and adults. The stresses of adulthood are, in their own way, more daunting than those of childhood. And we all have a need to master the traumatic overstimulation that characterizes our busy lives, to say nothing of the internal pressures that continually force us to deal with issues, relationships, and experiences.

As we age, our roles as fathers change. Like all relationships, fatherhood is not a static experience, nor is it easily described, and at times the path is unclear and confusing. How do we relate to daughters and sons as they mature? As teenagers? As adults? As caretakers and heads of their own families? How does one best find joy in their accomplishments and our hand in them? And how do we come to terms with their failures, which can so often feel like our own?

In Losing It, William Ian Miller brings his inimitable wit and learning to the subject of growing old: too old to matter, of either rightly losing your confidence or wrongly maintaining it, culpably refusing to face the fact that you are losing it. The "it" in Miller's "losing it" refers mainly to mental faculties - memory, processing speed, sensory acuity, the capacity to focus. But it includes other evidence as wel l- sags and flaccidities, aches and pains, failing joints and organs. What are we to make of these tell-tale signs?

Herrschaft der Kindsköpfe – über das Unbehagen in Kultur und Politik. Gefühl ist Trumpf, Argumente stören, und Diskretion war gestern. Wir haben uns in eine Gesellschaft der Kindsköpfe verwandelt, das infantile Prinzip herrscht: Zu diesem Ergebnis kommt der bekannte Publizist Alexander Kissler in seinem neuen Buch. Erwachsene verhalten sich lustvoll wie Kinder, sind es aber längst nicht mehr. Sie reden auf Teletubbies-Niveau, schicken Emojis in die Datenumlaufbahn oder schwärmen hemmungslos für Greta & Co. Sie spielen Meerjungfrau, Teddybär und Peter Pan und finden nichts dabei.

Questo saggio vuole fornire alcune indicazioni su come affrontare i problemi della vecchiaia con serenità e sicurezza. L'autrice non parte da considerazioni etiche, sociologiche o psicologiche, bensì scientifiche, con le quali dimostra che il cervello umano invecchiando perde alcune prerogative, ma le sostituisce con altre che in parte compensano e superano quelle perdute. L'autrice accompagna la sua dimostrazione con una serie di esempi di personalità attive fino alla vecchiaia, come Michelangelo, Galileo Galilei, Bertrand Russell e Pablo Picasso.

Teen Spirit offers a novel and provocative perspective on how we came to be living in an age of political immaturity and social turmoil. Award-winning author Paul Howe argues it's because a teenage mentality has slowly gripped the adult world.

Some of the most profound growth of our lives can happen in the home stretch, the years after age 60 or so. It's a time when we can finally crystallize the meaning of what we've been and done so far and fully expand into the self we've always intended to be, guided by the voice of the soul. But, says psychologist Charles Garfield, that can only happen if we first loosen the grip of the life we've led so far, the one that's been focused outwardly - on activity, achievement, and the idea of success - and let our souls lead the way.
