LEARNING TO LOVE MIDLIFE

Chip Conley

12 Reasons Why Life Gets Better With Age

For many, midlife can be a daunting time: one in which we may suddenly begin to feel more nostalgic for the past, and less hopeful about the future. But it's also a time when something profound awakens inside of us: a time for curiosity, introspection, wisdom, and lightness.

In Learning to Love Midlife, Chip Conley offers an entirely positive alternative to the standard narrative about aging. Drawing on the latest social science research, dozens of inspiring stories, and timeless pearls of wisdom, Conley reveals 12 reasons to love your life - and yourself - in middle age. They include: - The relief of "my body doesn't define me": We finally grow comfortable in our own skin. - No more "f*cks" left to give: We don't care as much about what other people think, and reclaim that energy for the journey ahead. - Stepping off the treadmill: We redefine what a successful life looks like. - The "Midlife Edit:" We let go of our emotional baggage: all the regrets, expectations, relationships and mindsets that no longer serve us. - Growing whole: Our brain begins to think more holistically , and our emotional intelligence soars. No matter where you are in your journey, this perspective-shifting guide will inspire you to find joy in - and even look forward to - this transformative phase of life. Chip Conley is the hospitality maverick who helped Airbnb's founders turn their fast- growing start-up into a global hospitality brand. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Wisdom@Work, among other titles, and founder of the Modern Elder Academy, where a new roadmap for midlife is offered at a beautiful oceanfront campus in Baja California Sur, Mexico.

I've personally experienced the magic of midlife at Chip Conley's MEA where thousands of people have learned how to curate a life that's as deep and meaningful as it is long. Finally, Chip has gathered the secrets of that program into a book that will help you to feel happier, healthier, and wiser starting in your 40s.

Rarely have I read a book that so succinctly captures the upside of midlife, a life stage that is more an opportunity than a crisis. Chip Conley reminds us all to savor the wisdom, self-knowledge, and joy that accompanies this time in our lives.

If we are lucky enough, midlife will find us all, but that doesn't mean crisis has to accompany it. The brilliant and beloved Conley reminds us that with transition and uncertainty comes possibility. No, our doors are not closed after forty, fifty, sixty: in many ways, they are more open than ever. Read this book to reimagine every stage of midlife.

As the founder of the world's first midlife wisdom school (I'm an enthusiastic alum!), Chip addresses head-on the question, 'what's next?'

And now that we're living longer, this period lasts much longer than it did in the past.

With cutting-edge research, deep insight, and examples drawn from real life - including candid accounts of his own experience - Conley provides a clear blueprint for creating the lives we want.

One of the most fascinating developments of this cathartic time we inhabit, surely, is the evolution of aging itself.

Now this book is a beautiful offering to us all - spiritual and pragmatic at once - on the generative possibilities of the new midlife. What a joy and a gift it is to read, and to have as a companion for living.
