Young People Might Not Experience a Mid-Life Crisis – But That’s Not Good News
In the past, happiness followed a U-shaped curve:
- People were happy in their youth
- They hit a mid-life crisis
- They bounced back in older age
But that curve is flattening out, meaning:
- Young people today are more stressed than ever
- The traditional mid-life crisis may not happen
- Instead, people might feel stuck in stress and burnout for decades

Give us three minutes and you'll get everything you need
to know for the day with Nina's what's trending.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
So there's a nude competition show that's coming to Netflix
that may actually be a dream come true for a
lot of people, and it's that they're making a Willy
Wonka competition show. I mean, tell me you didn't watch
Willy Wonka on the Chocolate Factory and think to yourself,
I wish I could be a part of the Golden Ticket?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
What do you have to do on the show.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
So on the show, you're going to go through a
high stake social experiment where players are going to have
to navigate games, tests, and temptations designed to probe their instincts,
resilience and ability to thrive in chaos. I'm just like,
you know one of those moments you get juiced because
you had a candy you weren't.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Supposed to have, like Varuka salt.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
What remember Varuka she ate the blueberry and she had
to get juice like a blue beats on.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
I remember actually.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Fromdy Oh that was the Golden Egg. Anyway, super excited
about this if they made them like real life challenges
like the movie.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
This is a thing thing this could. I don't really
remember that movie much it exists.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
This just sounds like Big Brother Willy Wonka edition.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Oh, the Willy Wonka edition is what makes it cool.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Is it going to be around Candy, I think so.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, it's Willie walking the chocolate factory the Golden Ticket,
like the whole thing. It's supposed to be based on
the whole thing. I don't think you get to own
a choco factory at the end of it.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
I was gonna say the whole movie was that people
want to find the ticket and then they get to
go to the factory.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
Yeah, and then they get to the factory, but they
didn't know that.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
I don't think they didn't have to compete in while
they were there, they were competing.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
That character's name is that Charlie Dump. It was Charlie
was Dump.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
His last name Dump.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I don't recall. I don't know why I think it's
Dump If it's not Charlie's important thing.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Charlie your bucket, that's a thing you may or may not.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's true your actually, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
I think it'd be really coolvated something like this, like
Alice in Wonderland.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
You know, that'd be fun. I'll be down for that one.
Uh So this is interesting.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
It looks like the whole midlife crisis crisis seems to
be going away, so younger kids and adults right now
may not ever experience the midlife crisis. So essentially, life
was supposed to be created into a u like you're
super happy and all of a sudden you hit the
crisis stage and then you come back up and then
you're happy again. But now specialists, specialist researchers are saying
(02:25):
that the midlife crisis is going away due to our phones.
There's no time to actually like experience the up again
because now it's just a downward down.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
They're just saying there's no crisis, it's just.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
You're born and.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
That's exciting. But I don't know that I agree with
this though.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Gabby and I were talking about this morning, like in depth,
but I don't know that that's true because Victoria was
just experiencing the quarter life. You know. It's like anytime
you have a minute where you have to reevaluate your life.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, like you could do that with or without a phone.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I just think it's weird when people pay attention to
their age honestly, if people freak out, like you know,
quarter life crisis, midlife crisis, I'm like, I don't know.
I don't care how old I am. I just I
feel however, I just feel how I feel.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Well I feel it should be.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
I think I feel like because you see a lot
of things now, like on social media, that it's like
things that you wanted to do and have accomplished by
a certain time. You see a lot of people doing it,
so you're like, why am I not doing it?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Or what am I doing wrong? Or what can I
do better or what?
Speaker 6 (03:26):
What you have to remember is that it's all nonsense
and it's fake right now. So like example, I would
I've always wanted to be an author. A friend of
mine who's an awful writer, okay, has published a book.
He has published a book, and there are many reasons
why he was able to publish a book. None of
them are because he's a good writer and he now
(03:46):
thinks he's a writer.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Well, write a book.
Speaker 6 (03:50):
But no, just because you get a book, posh, you're
telling me that people who wrote the for Dummies books
are writers.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
I mean, they definitely probably identify as writers.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
They didn't the For Dummies and came and brought them
the whole concept, and they put their name on it
because they're experts.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
That's what happened to my friend. He's an expert in
the thing.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
He added a couple of words to a thing that
was already built for him, and the company published it.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Okay, So to your point though, that it's all fake, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
It's all fakes, So don't get worried about it.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I think that it is all fake.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Like it's weird because you know, I've lived a different
life than a lot of people my age, right, never
had family, kids all that. Well I did for a second,
but that was you know anyway, right, But like you know,
like when I when I turned twenty five, my goal
wasn't to be married with two point five kids and
have a house and whatever.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
But people will look at you and be like, oh,
you're you are not acting like an adult. And I
was like, what's what does that mean? What does that
even mean? I technically am an adult? What because I'm
not wearing business casual attire every day and then puttering
around my house on the weekends. I didn't want to
give up when I turned twenty five.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
You know what, I mean, not to keep this going longer,
but just the one thing to think about. If you're
thinking about it like that and you don't have any
moment that shakes up your life to allow you the
opportunity to reevaluate and see which direction you go.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Doesn't have to be a crisis.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
But don't you think that it helps you push beyond
your limits when you have that moment to reevaluate what
your life looks like and what you want it to
look like.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Oh yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
I'm constantly re evaluating everything about myself all the time, Okay,
but I don't do it based on age.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It's just like, yeah, yeah, this is what I want
to do.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Do I want to have that for lunch? I mean
if I had that for lunch, I always this for lunch.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I mean something different.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yes, I think it's better. We just have this need
to measure things, but get a roller and do it
that way.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
But yeah, I just think I think age is such
a weird thing.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I think the social pressure on doing things by a
certain age, yeah, is ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
I don't ever get that into myself too.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Like I'm doing music now, you know, I have three
songs out. Check them out?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
If you want on aout where we get music. But
and people will be like, are you too old to
be getting into that? I'm like, why just because I
didn't start as a kid doesn't mean that I can't
start whenever age I am.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Yeah, I didn't know who Betty White was, right exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
It's so weird that you put an age number on it.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Oh, I can't try something new because i'm this age?
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Well you know, yep, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Well, but I've seen you know, learning piano and all.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
This stuff, like you see YouTube toials come up and
it's like everybody told me like, should I learn piano?
I'm like in my forties on YouTube? And I'm like, yeah,
why can't you learn piano in your forties?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
What to me?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
That's that part for sure? Well, you think about that
today in your life and just do it. That's what's trending.
