Author James Hollis' eloquent reading provides the listener with an accessible and yet profound understanding of a universal condition - or what is commonly referred to as the mid-life crisis. The book shows how we may travel this Middle Passage consciously, thereby rendering our lives more meaningful and the second half of life immeasurably richer.©1993 Dr. James Hollis (P)2004 BMA Studios Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Inspiring Middle Age Crisis

I'll reread this book a dozen times or more, time permitting, until I haven't missed a word. Dr Hollis gets it and knows how to tell it so you and I might find it.

Like a golden ticket for a full life
