At age 40, people are basically at the halfway mark in their lives, one that often induces a so-called "mid-life crisis." In Lessons at the Halfway Point, Michael Levine takes a thought-provoking look at this milestone birthday. With wit and humor, Levine examines one man's courageous journey to understand life from the perspective of reaching this halfway mile marker. Both a wry reflection on the past as well as an optimistic look to a challenging future, nothing escapes Levine's critical eye. With his insightful mind and often humorous spin on our world and ourselves, he makes the case that turning 40 may not be a crisis after all.
