Research shows that happiness bottoms out for people in their mid to late 40s. We might struggle with mid-career slumps, caring for both children and aging parents, and existential questions about whether everything has turned out as we'd planned.

Conley wrote the book Learning to Love Midlife: 12 Reasons Why Life Gets Better with Age.
