Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes in Midlife

Went to a book group yesterday where Jane Jelenko was the visiting author. She’s a co-writer of the just released “Midlife Renewal” book, Changing Lanes.

It’s tough on both the body and the soul when your heart is not in your work or your current life doesn’t feel satisfying. So I think this book is worth mentioning here.

If you’re considering a midlife transition, check out Jelenko’s Changing Lanes. Both she and her co-author Susan Marshall are former “suits” who made career changes in their 50s. But their book tells more than these two women’s stories. It’s filled with rich insights and helpful advice, and the authors also interviewed 55 other “change artists” whose stories and wisdom are included.

“Sometimes making a change seems interminable,” said Jelenko to the book group. “At those points, it can help to be in that place of not knowing and decide to be OK with it.”

Being inspired by other successful “change artists” may be just what “the doctor” needs to order.

Warm regards,
