10.To explainwhy Hamletlikes Collins.CThe reallyfrightening thingabout middle age,the actorDoris Dayis saidto havejoked,is thatyou know youllgrow out of it.We maybravely tryto claimthat lifebegins at40-but formany people,it canfeel morelike the beginning of the end.Mid lifewasnt alwaysseen thisway.It isntclear whywe havea morenegative viewtoday,butMargie Lachman,director of the lifespandevelopment labat BrandeisUniversity inMassachusetts,suggests itmay belinked to the pressuresthat beginpiling upin our30s.Midlife isa periodof highstresstoday,more sothan in the past/she says.1One isexactly in the middleof workand familycareers.This canaffect one*s abilityto focusor one*s ownwell-being.1There are,however,many reasonsto feelpositive aboutthis crucialperiod.In aseries ofexperiments,Laura Germineat HarvardMedical Schoolhas testedtens ofthousands of people toexaminethe differencesin cognitiveabilities betweenage groups.Germines studieshave includedthefamous mindin theeyesH test,for instance,which getspeople toinfer emotionalstates fromsmalldifferences infacial expressions.She foundthat peoplen theirlate40s scoredhighest.This maybe duetopractice,she suggests.n Whenyou thinkabout theamount ofsocial differencesthat onehas to learnacross thelifespan-thats wherewe thinkthat comesfrom/Germine foundsimilar patternsin atask demandingcontinuous attention.In this,the participantshad to watchdifferent scenesfade intoone anotherand adapttheir responseaccording towhat theysaw——pressing abutton whenthey sawa cityand releasingit whenthey sawa mountain.40-somethings foundit mucheasier toget into the zonethan youngerpeople.It isinteresting tonote thatmiddle-aged peoplefrequently bringin themost suppliesin traditionalhunter-gatherer societies.According tovarious studies,hunter-gatherers oftentake decadesto learntheirskills,and theseabilities continueto growinto their40s.There aresome downsidesto hittingthis age,of course.Our skintends to become looseand ourbodyfat startsto beredistributed aroundthe midriff.But aftera dropin lifesatisfaction,happiness isalreadyset torise atthe end of thisdecade and thebeginningof thenext.Contrary topopular opinion,humans seemto haveevolved toflourish intomiddleageand beyond.
