Abstract

Executives passing the mid-point of their lives in business are prone to anxiety and preoccupation with the meaning of the rest of their lives. Manfred Kets de Vries explores some of the psychological traumas that can arise from physical ageing, loss of sexual potency and generational competition. Often, childhood experiences contribute to the failure to adjust, and marital tensions add to the problem. But things do not have to be so negative. The author suggests some practical and appealing ways of overcoming mid-life angst.
