According to the Economic and Social Research Council middle age happens between thirty eight to sixty years old. At this halfway stage of your life have you ever wondered what happens to people to send them in different directions at the midpoint crossroads of life? Inspired by The Midpoint podcast which has now published more than 100 episodes, Gabby shares openly, honestly and comprehensively the pearls of wisdom she's gleaned along the way.
The Midpoint Plan covers topics from love and sex, midlife crises, mental health, sleep, ageing and beauty, hormones, style, alcohol, family and friends. Quite simply, it's an indispensable guide to reflecting on where you are and helping you create a new narrative for your second half, giving clarity on what we need to do to help our minds, bodies, relationships and finances stay healthy.
Gabby's experiences are interspersed with stories from authors, actors, broadcasters, musicians, sports legends, politicians and business leaders and experts deliver wisdom on a range of topics. With Midpointer Views and Midpoint Action Plans this is a map to middle-age featuring detailed directions to these decades of great change. And I am all in.
I needed this book and I'll be sharing it with every Midpointer I know. Who doesn't want to be a healthy and more productive, creative and happy older person? As I talk to myself with kindness, reclaim a bit of care and attention for myself and work towards my best possible future, I thank Gabby. I thank Gabby for her musings, her openness, her honesty, her extensive research, and her brilliant black book. It's well written, well researched, well structured, and I loved it. Buy this book, subscribe to the podcast and learn to embrace these life lessons from Logan and her team. It's a surefire winner.
