Скачать или смотреть Living Longer. Choosing Better: Why Midlife Is a Turning Point

We’re living longer. But those extra years didn’t land at the end of life. They landed in the middle.

For many women, that means midlife suddenly feels confusing. The kids are grown. Work doesn’t feel the same anymore. The roles that once defined you are starting to change. And no one really prepared us for what this stage of life is supposed to look like.

In this conversation, Holly sits down with gerontologist Barbara Waxman, author of :The Middlescence Manifesto" and a contributor to Stanford’s Center on Longevity. Barbara believes we’ve been thinking about midlife all wrong.

This isn’t simply a crisis. It may actually be a turning point.

Because if we’re going to live longer than any generation before us, we may also have to rethink what these years are really for: how we want to live them, who we want to become, and what truly matters in the second half of life.
