Midlife can be a liberating time for both men and women – if they navigate the passage thoughtfully. Crisis or chronology, hormones or circumstance – they are ‘mutually arising’, different for everyone, and perhaps difficult to unravel, aren’t they? We think of Carl Jung, who said that he never met anyone over the age of 35 whose difficulties were not resolved by exploring the spiritual side of life. That a <em>felt transition </em>exists is real ... as is the call for reflection. And that is refreshing! Thanks for your comment – and we certainly agree!

We admire the work of William Sadler, Ph.D. of the Center for Third Age Leadership who offers a refreshing perspective on male midlife crisis. He says that "crises do occur in midlife but they are usually caused by a variety of factors, certainly not by chronology alone." He sees midlife as an opportunity for liberation, for freedom. Dr. Fred and I believe that we don't have to be defined by our old scripts. We are free to discover new things about ourselves, new ideas, talents, interests- basically this could be a time for adult renewal or reinvention. This applies to both sexes equally.
