- Alms for an Ex-Leper
- Description
- This paper explores the concept of a midlife crisis, its origins, and its prevalence. The author, Eric J. Sorenson, Jr., references various studies and cultural references to question the universality of the midlife crisis, suggesting that while it is a well-known stereotype, empirical evidence shows it is not a common experience. The paper examines different theoretical perspectives and challenges the notion that a midlife crisis is an inevitable part of human development.
