How to Love Your Job and Cope With a Mid-Career Crisis

On this episode of HBR IdeaCast from Harvard Business Review host Alison Beard, senior editor at HBR speaks with Kieran Setiya, a philosophy professor at MIT and author of the HBR article Managing Your Mid-Career Crisis.

Setiya explains how his own midlife career crisis inspired him to write about how you can cope and combat with a mid-career crisis that many people face. In his efforts to deal with his own crisis, Setiya was able to develop strategies that can help to refocus their career during a midlife crisis. He explains the link between the midlife crisis and the mid-career crisis and also explains what exactly happens in a mid-career crisis and how to get out of it.
