Her stunning bestsellers Passages and New Passages
brilliantly mapped the changes we live through from youth to
maturity. Now Gail Sheehy guides contemporary men through
the turbulent challenges and surprising pleasures that begin
at forty. As a man crosses that threshold, he is bound to
ask midlife's most troubling question: Now what? Work
anxieties, concerns over sexual potency, marital and family
stress, issues of power, all take on new urgency as men
contemplate the decades ahead. But as Gail Sheehy reveals in
this major new book, midlife is precisely the period when
men are most likely to reinvent themselves and become
masters of their fate. In Understanding Men's Passages,
Sheehy offers all men--and the women in their lives--an
essential guide to self-discovery. Hundreds of bold, imaginative men--celebrities as well as
everyday heroes--share here their most intimate desires,
deepest fears, and most fervent cravings for renewal. Decade
by decade, Sheehy uncovers the real issues facing men today:
finding new passion and purpose to invigorate the second
half of their lives, dealing with "manopause," surviving job
change, enjoying post-nesting zest, defeating depression,
and learning what keeps a man young. Informative and inspiring, grounded in fact and full of
fascinating life stories, Understanding Men's Passages is a
landmark that will take its place beside Gail Sheehy's
epoch-making Passages and New Passages.
