For many years now, I have been studying the phenomenon of mid-life transition, particularly among high achievers. It is a complex issue in itself and far less understood than the concept of teenage transition.

Sometimes I wonder where we all got it from. I believe that as a race nobody trivialises issues, concepts, ideas and acts, as we do.

A profession is not a job; it is not simply work-for-hire —a skill to earn a livelihood.
