Summary:

Everyone talks about growing up or the approaching end. But the middle counts. "Behind the crises that can accompany midlife, Barbara Bleisch discovers the potentially best time of our lives."-Daniel Schreiber. At some point in life, many things are decided: who we love, where we work, how we live. Some are happy to have arrived - others fear being stuck in a life full of routine and ask themselves if that's it. How do we find new goals in life when a lot has been achieved? How do we deal with the fact that time horizons are slowly narrowing and some trains have already left the station? With a philosophical foundation and full of references to everyday life, Barbara Bleisch reflects on life experience, lightness and serenity. She counters the cliché of the "midlife crisis" with a philosophy of midlife that leads us into the existential questions of our decades as adults - and into the best time of our lives. --Translated from publisher's website.
