This book is a way to think about thriving by using a different lens. One thing that author John R. Robertson has learned from the many first responders he has worked with is a quality they called "muscle memory". The premise is simply that one trains so frequently that when they are faced with something challenging, they do not react, they respond. Their muscle memory takes over to the extent that they can react in the opposite way from most normal (untrained) humans. They are able to run toward the roar instead of the normal reaction of running away from it.

Is there really such a thing as a midlife crisis - a true crisis in a person's life that happens in midlife? Yes, there is. But fortunately for most of us, it is a fairly rare event.

This book describes the powerful, dynamic forces that underlie both the midlife crisis and midlife transition and provides, through clinical case material, a detailed description of each.

Boyd Clewis has defied the odds and gravity. He was born dead, changed schools and homes as a child more times than he can count, became a teenage father and a track star, had more than one close brush with the law, and endured unimaginable family tragedy—all by the time he was barely old enough to drink.

¿Es posible ser feliz? Sí, pero con dos condiciones fundamentales: una actitud positiva, que es necesaria pero no suficiente, y actuar en consecuencia. La vida feliz no se da tan sólo con desearla intensamente; hay que construirla. La casi totalidad de la literatura respecto del éxito o la felicidad enfatiza y se limita a señalar la actitud, equivalente a querer, pero deja a un lado el actuar; que es decidirse y comprometerse. No se trata solamente de asumir una actitud, sino que se requiere de voluntad para abordar los problemas con valentía y decisión.
