#Best(Mid)Life

About this episode

The episode discusses how to intentionally induce a midlife crisis on one's own terms.

How to induce a midlife crisis. TODAY'S QUESTION: Hi Grawlix, I am turning 40 this summer. I live a rather comfortable life. Steady job, loving wife, and two great kids. That said, something has to give, right? I am the kind of guy who likes to get out ahead of things and want to take on my mid-life crisis on MY OWN TERMS. So, my questions is, "How do I induce my own mid-life crisis?" To be clear, I'm not asking what my mid-life crisis should look like... I'm asking what steps I should take to bring whatever underlying crisis there is to the surface. Thanks -Billy LINKS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Vote for the winning advice!
