Rezensionen

"Written with charming simplicity and wry humor, Midlife is a philosophically rich source of what might be called the higher life hacks' - reflective ways of dissolving the sense of emptiness and regret that tends to hit each of us with the onset of middle age. A work of disarming wisdom."--Jim Holt, author of Why Does the World Exist?
