Summary:

We've all heard the phrase midlife crisis. But what does this mean? Is it a good thing, or bad? Is it something to be avoided, or embraced? Probably more during middle adulthood than at any other time of life, men and women find themselves looking both forward and back over their lives, asking themselves, Where have I been? Where am I now? Where is it that I want to go for the rest of my life? If these questions are to be answered honestly, a personal journey must ensue. It's one that leads to growth for some people, but to conflict for others. Viewers will learn how midlife crisis is defined, what sort of person tends to experience it, what life circumstances may trigger it, and about the role it can assume in the lives of individual men and women. And in fact, some psychologists oppose entirely the concept of midlife crisis. Their theories are contrasted with the prevailing view, allowing viewers to decide for themselves.
