Since the mid-twentieth century, the term has been used to explain infidelity in middle-aged men, disillusionment with personal achievements, the pain and sadness associated with separation and divorce, and the fear of approaching death. This book provides a meticulously researched account of the social and cultural conditions in which middle-aged men and women began to re-evaluate their hopes and dreams, reassess their relationships, and seek new forms of identity and fresh pathways to self-satisfaction. Drawing on a rich seam of literary, medical, media and cinematic sources, as well as personal accounts, it explores how the crises of middle-aged men and women were shaped by increased life expectancy, changing family structures, shifting patterns of work, and the rise of individualism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Medical historian Jackson examines in this thought-provoking scholarly study the social and cultural factors that made the midlife  crisis 'a key feature of private lives and public debate in the mid-twentieth century. . . .

Who does that?! Danny Cahill had made it, by any measure: He was a recruiting industry icon with a brilliant, lucrative career, hugely in demand as a motivational speaker, and a noted playwright and writer. But once a serious gym injury began to unravel his childhood deprivations, his mother's shame-based modus operandi, and the choices he made in search of love, he realized he had thrown it all away in spectacular fashion. In Aging Disgracefully , Cahill takes on the emotionally tricky territory of memoir and charges into deep water to tell a frequently humorous and wonderfully dark tale that spares no one in his life, least of all himself. Painfully authentic and unapologetic, Cahill's account reveals that no matter how the world rewards you for being at the top of your game, an unresolved past can follow you, shape your choices, and lead to comic and tragic results when lines are crossed. Cahill's story is ultimately about climbing out of messes, saving ourselves from ourselves, finding exactly what we've been looking for, and realizing that it was there all along.","brand":"Greenleaf Book Group LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887051419991,"sku":"9781626343986","price":18.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781626343986.jpg?v=1722542774"},{"product_id":"how-to-be-happy-9789362136053","title":"How to be Happy","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a book that carries decades of experience on how to be contented, how to lead a fulfilling life, how to inhabit the delightful world of books and stories, and most of all on how to be happy!","brand":"HarperCollins India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48890027082071,"sku":"9789362136053","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9789362136053.jpg?v=1722557082"},{"product_id":"just-words-9780226484365","title":"Just Words","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIs it just words when a lawyer cross-examines a rape victim in the hopes of getting her to admit an interest in her attacker?

In tackling the question of how an abstract entity exerts concrete power, Just Words focuses on what has become the central issue in law and language research: what language reveals about the nature of legal power.  John M. Conley, William M. O'Barr, and Robin Conley Riner show how the microdynamics of the legal process and the largest questions of justice can be fruitfully explored through the field of linguistics. Each chapter covers a language-based approach to a different area of the law, from the cross-examinations of victims and witnesses to the inequities of divorce mediation.

What is it about the ideology and practice of business innovation that has made these consulting firms so successful at selling their services to everyone from small start-ups to Fortune 500 companies? Most importantly, what does business innovation actually mean for work and our economy in general in 2019?
