Episode 378: Why men have midlife crises (you have to practice being selfish)

<p>The stereotypical midlife crisis looks like a man leaving his wife and kids, buying a sports car, and shacking up with a younger lover. What causes this phenomenon? And why does it mostly seem to impact men? In this episode, I argue that the men most at risk for midlife crises are the rule-following and duty-conscious sort, who have spent most of their conscious lives acting responsibly. To avoid this outcome, it's important for men to practice what I call "creative selfishness," and to enjoy the fruits of their labor along the way.</p> <p>Social Media</p> <p>Facebook: <a href='https://facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090053889622'>https://facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090053889622 </a></p> <p>LinkedIn: <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/orion-taraban-070b45168/'>https://www.linkedin.com/in/orion-taraban-070b45168/ </a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href='https://instagram.com/psyc.hacks'>https://instagram.com/psyc.hacks </a></p> <p>Twitter: <a href='https://twitter.com/oriontaraban'>https://twitter.com/oriontaraban </a></p> <p>Website: <a href='https://oriontarabanpsyd.com'>https://oriontarabanpsyd.com </a></p> <p>Orion's Theme: <a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrXBzQ2HDEQ'>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrXBzQ2HDEQ </a></p> <p>Thinking of going to grad school?
