So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking. Racing around to come up behind you again. The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
The Boomers’ Antidote to Midlife Crisis

Midlife inertia is an affliction shared by many baby boomers. Maybe you are one of them. This syndrome is often described as a sense of feeling stuck—a frustration with the status quo. The notion of changing lanes is seductive, but you can’t seem to make the first move.
Some boomers attest that they just don’t know where to begin; indeed they don’t even know what questions to ask. In our book, Changing Lanes, we examine our own experiences, and more importantly, the personal stories of dozens of others who have tackled the challenge of midlife change.
By posing the hard questions, we hope to get you to confront your midlife inertia so that you, too, can experience the joy of renewal. If you are in a rut, then check out these questions to get your engine going. Better yet, listen to Jane as she talks about the book!
