Update & Many Thanks

I have been reading Midlife Crisis at 30 as well as The Breaking Point by Sue Shellenbarger. Combined they are are great start to obtaining insight on this journey. Honestly I'm not so much into the former as it includes a lot of famous people talking about their experiences with success which doesn't appeal to me. The Breaking Point, on the other hand, has been more helpful, providing me stories of real women and their life transformations as well as an understanding of why they embarked on new paths in their lifes.

Since I've discovered I'm going through MLC, not many people have taken me seriously due to all of the hoopla surrounding male midlife crises. Sometimes the Boomer analysis I've found on the net and in books just doesn't apply (e.g. empty nest syndrome & menopause). I hope that my post will be a shout out to any fellow X'ers (male or female) who may also be experiencing one, too.

Many thanks to Wesley and Greg for their insights, they are sincerely appreciated. :)
