About this audiobook
Gerzon describes the midlife process as a quest, as discovering the deep questions that are arising within. He encourages older people to share their stories with the young, as we all learn to dispel the negative and false belief that growing older means not growing. He’s the author of Listening to Midlife: Turning Your Crisis Into a Quest.
