One of the greatest tragedies in people's lives is the fact that various social, family, and professional conditions force them to live a life that is not their own, to deny their true selves, and to pretend to be something they are not.

Middle age, like adolescence, is a time of change.

The midlife crisis can be creative. It can be a conflict that will provoke an entirely new outlook on life. We experience many transitions during our lives. Those in middle age will inevitably go through a crisis. It is doubtful that a person can pass through middle age without having moments of serious reflection.
In middle age, we increasingly recognize our limitations and the folly of relying mainly on our efforts and wanting to have control. If a person does not abandon the narcissistic values of our culture for success, wealth, glamour, and fame, with which they have lived the first half of their life, their old age will range from sad to torturous.

This book is addressed to those who want to grow and improve their lives - no matter how good it already is - to make the experience of middle age an entry into a more satisfying way of life, even if they are not currently consciously experiencing a crisis.
