Recently, from a business, personal, and spiritual perspective, I've been doing a lot of meditating on [apparent] failure. Right now, I can't think of a more apropos topic for people facing and experiencing the midlife transition. For one thing, your successes don't precipitate a midlife crisis.

Getting your own way may, for a time, seem like a triumph; but, is it really? Does it actually move you forward, or does it, more often than not, lead you further into imminent trouble?

"Crucial Conversations" is a book that helps you prepare for those discussions where the "stakes are high, opinions vary, and emotions run strong." These could be at work or at home and they are unfortunately often either handed poorly or simply avoided.
