What Changed at 40? Work, Motivation, and the Life You Thought Would Still Excite You

This book was written for a quiet moment that many people reach but rarely talk about.

The moment when motivation fades without drama.

When urgency no longer works.

When you find yourself changing paths, second-guessing decisions, and wondering whether it is too late to start again.

What Changed at 40? is not an answer to what you should do with your life. It is an attempt to understand why the old reasons stopped working, why success lost its pull, and why uncertainty feels heavier now than it used to.

This book is for people who have already built something and are unsure how to move forward without burning everything down. It explores fatigue that rest does not fix, ambition that has outgrown proving, and the difference between restarting life and simply re-entering it more honestly.

There is no promise of reinvention here. Only clarity, reassurance, and a calmer way of choosing direction without panic.
