MID LIFE CRISIS
This book is really a good sociological study of who undergoes a midlife crisis as symbolized by loss of a job or getting downsized from a career. This career crash usually happens due to some underlying pathology which leads to recovery and drastic changes in the occupation if not lifestyle, hence it can be considered a mid-life crisis. The book's only weakeness is that like so many other self-help books, this one concerns the minority of successful and ambitious career climbers and burned out academia members to the exclusion of the rest of the people who inhabit the regular working world and to whom Apartments on Fifth Ave, New York and law firm partnerships are unattainable dreams rather than something they would rather walk away from for a lighter work schedule.
