In an era where transformation is the only constant, Generation X stands at the forefront of a unique midlife transition. Born into a world on the cusp of technological revolutions, we've navigated the shift from rotary phones to smartphones, from libraries to the limitless expanse of the internet. But “Generation X: The Art of Midlife Mastery with Machiavelli’s The Prince” is not just another tome in the self-help genre. It’s a deep dive into the essence of navigating midlife with a guide who has transcended centuries—Niccolò Machiavelli. This book speaks to the Gen Xer who feels the weight of change yet recognizes the cyclical nature of history. It’s for those of us who’ve laughed, loved, and lived through decades of transformation, only to find that the core of human experience remains unchanged. J. Thorn bridges the gap between the wisdom of the past and the challenges of the present, offering a fresh perspective on Machiavelli’s timeless principles. This isn’t just a book—it’s a conversation. A journey through the trials and triumphs of midlife, guided by the astute observations of one of history’s most influential thinkers. “Generation X: The Art of Midlife Mastery with Machiavelli’s The Prince” is a rallying cry for Gen X. It’s time to embrace the shifts, to understand that mastery over midlife isn’t found in resisting change but in adapting the enduring wisdom of the past to meet the challenges of today. Fellow Gen Xers, this is your guide. This is your moment. Your mastery of midlife awaits. Grab it now!

ISBN: 9811669996

This book examines the increasing evidence of international retirement migration (IRM) to countries of the Global South. IRM to countries of the Global South points to the increasing global interconnectedness of aging in relatively affluent countries and raises critical questions about its interrelations with global inequalities. This book provides a critical analysis of these global interrelations and their intertwinements with global inequalities and addresses the complex and multi-layered dimensions and implications of this development. It highlights the (ambiguous) everyday lives of retirement migrants in the countries of destination, and the severe impacts on the destination countries that are marked by processes of recolonization, and the reproduction, enhancement and reconfiguration of social inequalities. The growing retirement industry that capitalizes on retirement migration exploiting global differences and structural disadvantages of countries in the Global South is another integral part of this book.
