Understanding Men's Passages by Gail Sheehy

Understanding Men's Passages by Gail Sheehy

Her stunning bestsellers Passages and New Passages brilliantly mapped the changes we live through from youth to maturity. Now Gail Sheehy guides contemporary men through the turbulent challenges and surprising pleasures that begin at forty. As a man crosses that threshold, he is bound to ask midlife's most troubling question: Now what? Work anxieties, concerns over sexual potency, marital and family stress, issues of power, all take on new urgency as men contemplate the decades ahead. But as Gail Sheehy reveals in this major new book, midlife is precisely the period when men are most likely to reinvent themselves and become masters of their fate. In Understanding Men's Passages, Sheehy offers all men -- and the women in their lives -- an essential guide to self-discovery.

Hundreds of bold, imaginative men -- celebrities as well as everyday heroes -- share here their most intimate desires, deepest fears, and fervent cravings for renewal. Decade by decade, Sheehy uncovers the real issues facing men today: finding new passion and purpose to invigorate the second half of their lives, dealing with MANopause, surviving job change, enjoying post-nesting zest, defeating depression, and learning what keeps a man young.

Informative and inspiring, grounded in fact and full of fascinating life stories, Understanding Men's Passages is a landmark that will take its place beside Gail Sheehy's groundbreaking Passages and New Passages.

Gail Sheehy's groundbreaking work Passages has defined the lives of millions of readers around the world, and her bestsellers The Quiet Passage, New Passages, and Understanding Men's Passages have continued her investigation of the stages of adult life. Her fifteenth book is Middletown, America. Sheehy is both a dramatist and a contributing editor for Vanity Fair. She is the mother of two daughters and divides her time between New York and California, as well as on the Internet, where she can be found at www.gailsheehy.com.
