insight into why our
lives are pre-destined
to get better as we age.
Having experienced his
own mid-life slump,
despite personal and
career success, Rauch
began researching
happiness and has
created a compelling
case. He backs up his
personal story with
statistics and studies
and explains why life
tends to feel better after
- The ‘happiness curve’
is a natural decline
in optimism which
thankfully picks up again.
Learning to embrace this
stage of life is key.
