How to Cope With a Mid-Career Crisis

Kieran Setiya, a philosophy professor at MIT, says many people
experience a mid-career crisis. Some have regrets about paths not
taken or serious professional missteps; others feel a sense of
boredom or futility in their ongoing streams of work. The answer
isn't always to find a new job or lobby for a promotion. Motivated
by his own crisis, Setiya started looking for ways to cope and
discovered several strategies that can help all of us shift our
perspective on our careers and get out of the slump without jumping
ship.
