Critic reviews

"With a calm tone and a friendly voice, Hollis leads listeners through this perilous period and advises on ways to negotiate it." ( AudioFile)

Like a golden ticket for a full life

I'll reread this book a dozen times or more, time permitting, until I haven't missed a word. Dr Hollis gets it and knows how to tell it so you and I might find it.

Sobering

This is an honest reflection on what midlife looks like, I wish there were more direction provided but it is a helpful start to understanding this strange period of life.

very deep. very insightful

A little bit dense to hear on the car.
