Life Reimagined. The art, science and opportunity of mid life

By Barbara Hagarty.

It starts off as a narrative pop-sci/pop-psych books but ends up- very personal.

The author took some time off from her regular job at NPR to write this book. She starts off exploring the science of midlife. What do we know about how to get the most out of mid life to launch us into a great old age (Have many friends, stay engaged intellectually, push yourself)

But then life intervenes. Her employer offers her a buy out package to leave the company. She breaks her collar bone. Soddenly, the author must reimagine her midlife.
