Mind the Gap

Does true happiness exist? And are you standing in your own way of living life to the fullest? Perhaps you feel trapped, striving to climb the corporate ladder or to reach those milestones of love, sexuality, family, and friendship that society has deemed to be the inevitable paths you must follow?

Even asking those questions of ourselves can be scary, says Lisa Zombor in her book, Mind the Gap: Mid-life Realizations, Reflections, and Stories by an Ordinary Human. This long-time human resources professional cracked open her own life in a quest to find out what was holding her back. What was perpetuating her feelings of restlessness and discontent? Despite being a high achiever with a successful career on paper, she didn’t feel it in her heart.

Zombor shares how she conquered these quandaries during mid-life by cultivating the tools to live to her fullest potential. She touches on topics such as the future of work, the LGBTQI+ community, the COVID-19 pandemic, and more. Through personal insights, anecdotes, and experiences, the author guides readers along the path to finding acceptance in who they are and taking steps to achieve personal growth.
