Life is complex. And the older we get, the more complicated it can seem. Questions we thought we dealt with as teens-Who am I? What am I doing?-can crop up again in our thirties, forties, and even fifties. So how do we move past them this time?
Stephen D. Miller, MD, tackles these questions in his book What Do I Do Now?, which provides a cohesive blend of answers, both from major world religions and from modern psychology-namely, that there are seven life phases common to humankind. The advice held within these pages will sometimes be as simple as "be nice" or "control yourself," but there is also plenty of sage insight that will surprise you with its astute perception of the human condition.
A guide to life that no adult should be without-just as Dr. Seuss's Oh, the Places You'll Go! became the go-to graduation book, Dr. Miller's What Do I Do Now? will soon become your surefire thirtieth (or fortieth) birthday gift for friends and family members alike.
