Dr Rob Brandenburg will provide a thought–provoking and stimulating overview of his pioneering study that compares the midlife experience for men of contrasting personality type, with a focus specifically on his findings regarding the male experience of self/masculine identity and relationships in midlife. Participants will also engage in discussion, from both a male and female perspective, about how personality type impacts on the midlife experience. Rob will further explore the theme of “finding passion and purpose in midlife”.
