The Midlife Shift: How I Left the Rat Race and Found Myself

Praise for The Midlife Shift

"This isn't just another self-help guide; it's an invitation to slow down, reflect, and redefine what truly matters. It encouraged me to look within, trust my instincts, and create a life aligned with my own values. If you've ever felt trapped in the race for "more," The Midlife Shift offers a blueprint for finding freedom, presence, and fulfillment."


—HUSSEIN AL-BAIATY, Founder of Rising Authors

"Whether you've tasted success, faced adversity, or feel a lingering malaise, The Midlife Shift reminds us that our best times can still lie ahead. With Issa's warmth and wisdom, this book shows how a purposeful life only grows richer over time."


—RICHARD LEIDER, International bestselling author of The Power of Purpose, Repacking Your Bags, and Life Reimagined


"This book was just what I needed when I needed it. Midlife can be confusing and disorienting, but it doesn't have to be a crisis—it can be an awakening. Mo Issa's book will show you how."

—JEFF GOINS, Bestselling author of The Art of Work
