May 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment

The fact is that now, habits of sneaking transfat-laden processed foods or skimping on fresh veggie prep will be noticed most by our sensitive brain, i.e. memory, speed of recall, clarity of [...]

May 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Not so sure this is entirely good news, but unemployment rates are higher and rising faster for younger workers than for employees 55 and older. Even though older workers earn more, companies are wary of age discrimination lawsuits. Protections exist for older workers, but less so for younger employees.

What Happens in the 25 Years After 50
May 21, 2009 | 4 Comments
In linking to a Mark Gerzon interview recently, I was struck by his comment that, while childhood, adolescence and old age have been studied, the entire span of adulthood remained unexplored- resting on the assumption that learning ends in our 20s. I’m happy to say that at least for the stage between 50 [...]

May 12, 2009 | 1 Comment
From Listening to Midlife author Mark Gerzon I found these words here, among the most simple and wise on the nature of midlife relationships.
