This audiobook will change your life by showing you how life changes.
Why does happiness tend to get harder in your 40s? Why do you feel in a slump when you're successful? Where does this malaise come from? And, most importantly, will it ever end?
Drawing on cutting-edge research, award-winning journalist Jonathan Rauch answers all these questions. He shows that from our 20s into our 40s, happiness follows a U-shaped trajectory, a "happiness curve," declining from the optimism of youth into what's often a long, low slump in middle age, before starting to rise again in our 50s.
This isn't a midlife crisis, though. Rauch reveals that this slump is instead a natural stage of life-and an essential one. By shifting priorities away from competition and toward compassion, it equips you with new tools for wisdom and gratitude to win the third period of life.
And Rauch can testify to this personally because it was his own slump, despite acclaim as a journalist and commentator that compelled him to investigate the happiness curve. His own story and the stories of many others from all walks of life-from a steelworker and a limo driver to a telecoms executive and a philanthropist-show how the ordeal of midlife malaise reboots our values and even our brains for a rebirth of gratitude.
Full of insights and data and featuring many ways to endure the slump and avoid its perils and traps, The Happiness Curve doesn't just show listeners the dark forest of midlife, it helps them find a path through the trees. It also shows how we can-and why we must-do more to help each other through the woods.
Praise for The Happiness Curve:

Enter into an encore adulthood of powerful purpose." - Richard Leider, international bestselling author of The Power of Purpose, Repacking your Bags, and Life Reimagined
"Do you wish to understand the arc of your life? And why you are likely to end up happier than you are right now? If so, The Happiness Curve is the best place to start. And I write this as someone who can vouch that the upper part of the happiness life curve is very glorious indeed." - Tyler Cowan, New York Times bestselling author of The Complacent Class and The Great Stagnation
