Synopsis
With provocative insights and humor Larry Krotz ventures through midlife or as he describes it, "halftime in the locker room." Too old now to recover easily from colossal mistakes, too young to rest on his laurels, Midlifeman feels a sense of urgency to do it now (whatever it is) and to do it right, a sense that this is the last kick at the can. Krotz s book is part memoir, part advice and inspiration---all in all a great read.
