How are Baby Boomers different from middle-aged people of previous generations?
In previous generations people in their 50s and definitely in their 60’s felt old, believed they were old and acted as an “old person”. Baby Boomers in general have refused this idea of being old at 50 and have a more difficult time accepting the physical signs of aging because they still feel young inside. Because of the greater awareness of nutrients, supplements, and medical breakthroughs they mange to look and feel younger. The Internet offers information and the ability to connect with each other in ways that makes them feel part of a powerful community. The younger Baby Boomers in Midlife are dealing with the difficulty of Empty Nest Syndrome and Midlife crisis, both of which are sometimes messy, but definitely life transforming.
