For the first time in history, the middle- aged make up the largest, richest & most influential segment in the country. A trillion-dollar economy has grown up feeding & fuelling their needs, whims & desires. Millions of federal & foundation dollars have been spent on scientific research into their habits, health, marriages, divorces, fears, & passions. Their concerns & counsel dominate the self-help shelves in bookstores, while their"idian dramas flood Facebook & Twitter. This book is a biography of the idea of middle age from its invention in the late 19th century to its current place at the centre of society, where it wields enormous economic, psychological & social power. Patricia Cohen's fascinating & revelatory book reports on cutting-edge science & chronicles the varying forces that shape our understanding of middle age today. She traces the different definitions of middle age
- biological, psychological & sociological
- & the different visions of middle age -- sometimes an influential, wealthy & satisfied figure, sometimes a paunchy, sexless & discouraged one. She also dismantles some of the most stubborn myths about the middle years, such as the midlife crisis & the empty nest syndrome.
