I observe the ease and elegance with which Mike Nichols jumps that hurdle with envy. His book, Turning Forty in the Eighties, deals with human development, the fact that we continue encountering barriers, facing new problems, and finding-or failing to find-new solutions throughout life. There is nothing new about that, but what Nichols adds is an historical social perspective on the eighties, a period of economic, sexual, and computer revolution. The writer is a man of paradoxes. A man, he alerts feminists that up to now the men are the winners of the feminist revolution. A family therapist, he focuses on individuals. A marathon runner, he stops jogging to consider the price his family pays for his competition with himself. The chapter 'The Mind in Conflict' deals with Freudian perspectives, and 'The Empty Self with Kohut's psychology of self. This book doesn't offer solutions, but it may help the reader stop running-to look where he/she is, and where he/she is going. I will send this book to my friends who are turning forty as a reminder that they will be sixty when the century turns."
