The 50 Something Year Old Pinball

This book is an honest account of the journey Mike Cohen has taken to understand himself and the challenges that many Americans face when their lives are turned upside down by an unexpected career event. The drama of such an event is further magnified when you are in the 50-65 year-old range. It is a raw and poignant narrative about a subject that could be depressing but the author finds a way to make it surprisingly uplifting with his wit and willingness to bare his soul to the reader. "You experience the emotions of the lead character of a novel...but it is all too real!" "This is a must read for anybody who faces career challenges at any age."
