Gen X-tended Lesson One: Who Do You Want to be Next?

If there were ever a time for existential questioning, midlife is it. You’re old enough to confront the fact that there are roads you’ll never take but young enough to still have miles to go, both professionally and personally.

While most of us wouldn’t label this a full-on crisis, it’s normal to grapple with the midlife doldrums. Life satisfaction declines from our early 20s until we hit our 50s. During our 40s, things basically bottom out, even while we’re hitting highs in all the areas we would expect to bring us satisfaction.

If this sounds like you, you’re likely looking for the reason why you’re not happy. But don’t be surprised if you come up empty-handed.

In this lesson:

  • The Truth About the Midlife Crisis
  • The Tyranny of Status and Success
  • In Pursuit of Meaning and Purpose
  • Your Story Begins Right Now
  • Fixed Versus Growth Mindset
  • What’s Your Next Chapter?
Who Do You Want to be Next?
