Midlife, Reconsidered: A Conversation with Dr. Lachman

Brandeis University sat down with Dr. Lachman to discuss Primetime, her 30+ years of research, and the ideas she most wants readers to walk away with. In a wide-ranging Q&A, she explains why midlife isn't a cliff's edge but a launching point, debunks the origins of the "midlife crisis" myth, and shares why she uses a midterm exam analogy to describe this pivotal life stage.
