Going through a midlife crisis can be tough. The passion and energy might not be there anymore. But sometimes it’s the feeling of regret, the idea that you haven’t achieved anything. Where did all the motivation go?
Surprisingly, even the most successful people in the world are still prone to midlife crisis. Because no amount of fame and fortune can prevent a person from questioning his sense of self and purpose. And we wake up one day asking ourselves, “Is this all there is?”
Fortunately, I have listed 6 books that talk about this tremendous psychological shift, and its authors will help to guide, instruct, correct, train, and inspire you to find once again that long lost sense of fulfillment and direction. Here are the 6 books that will help you regain the clarity in life you’re looking for, and silence your self-doubting once and for all.

#1 Happy Healthy You by KJ Landis
Most midlife crises have roots in childhood issues. Whether overt or hidden, we all have reflected upon choices and activities we could have done differently if we could do it all over again. The reflection and sometimes regrets come up in our middle years, the 40s and 50s. I have written a book that addresses many issues in midlife.
What better way to share stories and helpful tools than with my latest book, HAPPY, HEALTHY YOU. Mango Publishing published my fourth book about how to reduce stress and anxiety, what foods support hormones and aging, and actual tools for connecting with others in a real and honest way. This book shares movement approaches for total health, including hiking and Bikram hot yoga. Silence as a healer is taught in a new and easy manner to follow.
This is a total wellness toolkit with real stories of folks who have suffered extreme trauma and those dealing with every day drama and how they not just coped, but thrived. This is also available in eBook format and audiobook on every type of device. It’s perfect for last minute gift giving with instant, helpful impact on a loved one’s life.

#2 Great Second Acts by Marlene Wagman-Geller
Antony said of Cleopatra, Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale/Her infinite variety. Shakespeare's sentiment can be applied to the women profiled in Great Second Acts, who refused to be defined by the dates on their birth certificates. Their lives are testimony that one can be feisty after fifty, and to those who think otherwise, in the words of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I dissent. Marlene Wagman-Geller, author of Once Again to Zelda and Behind Every Great Man, presents a fascinating collection of biographical vignettes of dozens of older women who have excelled, inspired and achieved.
Learn how these women changed their respective fields of art, politics, science, mathematics, media, literature, activism, education, and more. From actresses, yoga teachers and folk artists to business women, prime ministers, monarchs and authors, these exceptional women will illustrate that women can achieve anything, no matter their age.

#3 Getting My Bounce Back by Carolee Belkin Walker
You don't have to run a marathon or suffer through a triathlon to be fit and healthy. But you do need an exercise habit. Especially as we age, exercise is not optional. Yet unless we had been athletes as kids or young adults, and few of us were, we do not know how to find our edge. Learning how to carve out time to meet our fitness needs or to push ourselves physically and mentally is one of the greatest challenges to aging well.
Inspired by her highly popular blog Be the Dog, Carolee Belkin Walker's Getting My Bounce Back is a relatable story of what it's like to be a successful professional woman encountering all things fitness for the first time. Whether readers have never put on a pair of running shoes or tried again and again to form a fitness habit, they'll relate to the highs and lows of Walker's journey, which ultimately brought her stumbling onto a path to resilience and well-being. Through her fitness journey, Walker discovered powerful sense of confidence and resilience that she'd never had before.
Getting My Bounce Back is about Walker digging in, discovering who she is, and seeing how far she can push herself to be strong, fit, healthy, and most importantly, resilient. Her writing is full of humorous situations as she decides to be an active participant in life and not take the setbacks, or herself, too seriously.

#6 Say “NO” to Mid-life Crisis by Cynthia MacGregor
SAY NO TO MIDLIFE CRISIS is a self-help book that I authored whose title is self-explanatory. Here is an excerpt: I hardly need to list here the various reasons why we resent the years piling up; suffice it to say that most of us do. And for some, the realization that we’ve hit middle age sends us into a positive tailspin. We’re far from old. We’re not yet suffering most of the physical problems seniority brings, either. We’ve merely hit the third phase of our lives – the four phases being childhood, young adulthood, mid-life, and seniority. And yet the realization that we’ve hit that point impacts some of us like a blow to the solar plexus. Or the psyche. What is “middle age”? Everyone has her or his own idea of what delineates that phase of life.. The reality is, it doesn’t really matter. If, at thirty-five, you feel you’ve hit the midpoint of your life and are no longer “young,” you’re middle-aged in your own mind, and that’s all that really counts. If, at fifty-four, you feel you’ve yet to hit true middle-age, you’re right, too… for you.
