The Pass in the Middle of the Way. How to Overcome the Midlife Crisis

Why, upon reaching middle age, do many of us find that turmoil reigns in our souls? Why is it at this time? Why do we call it a crisis? And what is its meaning?
The midlife crisis, or as the author calls it, "the pass in the middle of the way," opens before us the opportunity to rethink our own lives and ask the question that frightens and liberates at the same time: "Who am I, if we disregard my biography and social roles?" The pass in the middle of the way offers a striking, albeit painful opportunity to reconsider our notions of ourselves. Those who can do this will transform their lives into something more meaningful and discover new opportunities for themselves.
