Midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s a chrysalis.
It’s the most transformative time of your life, a marathon that spans decades, from 35 to 75.
After years of accumulating, it’s time to edit.
The trip becomes a journey only when you lose your baggage.
10 years from now, what will you regret if you don’t learn it or do it now?
Embrace being a beginner.
Celebrate being “age-fluid.”
Forget about being youthful, be useful!
Pursue long-life learning, curating a life that’s as deep and meaningful as it is long.
Master your TQ (Transitional Intelligence) as much as your IQ or EQ.
Middlescence is full of as many transitions as adolescence.
Dispense with anti-aging creams—create pro-aging dreams.
As we grow older, beauty shifts from your face to your heart.
Move beyond “small talk” to “big talk.”
Think of friendship as a “social wellness” practice.
Attract intergenerational pals.
Be the “modern elder,” someone as curious as you are wise.
Wisdom, not knowledge, is your superpower now.
Knowledge lives in your phone.
Wisdom resides in your gut.
Your painful life lessons are the raw material for your future wisdom.
Life begins as a horizontal journey but now it becomes a vertical one.
Your primary operating system is shifting—from your ego to your soul.
In this midlife chrysalis, you’re transforming – from a consuming caterpillar into a benevolent butterfly.
Here’s where you can buy THE MIDLIFE MANIFESTO in either paperback or hardcover, coffee table size.
