Midlife, in particular, can bring with it many stressful events: divorce, the death of a parent, a stagnating career. In this hour, we’ll discuss how to develop the coping skills needed to meet the challenges of midlife.

Guests:

Barbara Bradley Hagerty, author, "Life Reimagined: The Science, Art and Opportunity of Midlife"; former religion correspondent, NPR<br />
