"People are taking longer to grow up and much longer to die, thereby shifting all the stages of adulthood--by up to ten years. Gail Sheehy traces radical changes for the generations now in the Tryout Twenties and Turbulent Thirties and finds baby boomers in the Flourishing Forties rejecting the whole notion of middle age. In its place Gail Sheehy discovers and maps out a whole new frontier -- a Second Adulthood in middle life.

"Stop and recalculate," she says. "Imagine the day you turn 45 as the infancy of another life."
