What to Do With Your Life When You're 40 and Still Unsure: 14 Unconventional Lessons

You've read the productivity hacks. You've journaled, vision-boarded, manifested. And yet here you are: 40-something (or close enough), still asking the question no one seems to have a real answer to...

"What am I doing with my life?"

In What to Do With Your Life When You're 40 and Still Unsure, Jake Morimoto hands you something rare in the self-help world: relief. Relief from the timelines, the pressure, the performative ambition. And in its place? Perspective, clarity, and calm.

Through 14 smart, funny, and gently provocative essays, this book helps you zoom out, reset, and actually feel okay again about where you are. Even if it doesn't look like what you imagined.

By the time you finish this book, you'll feel...

✔ Unstuck-because you'll see why "figuring it out" is the wrong goal
✔ Lighter-after finally letting go of the dreams that no longer fit
✔ Clearer-on what actually matters to you now (not 10 years ago)
✔ Braver-about trying small things instead of waiting for big answers
✔ Strangely hopeful-that maybe you're not late, just right on time

You'll learn:

• Why the goals you set at 25 might be ruining your life at 40
• Why "finding your purpose" is a trap (and what to do instead)
• How to make peace with quitting (and why it's often the smartest move)
• How to navigate midlife without panic or pressure
• How to create meaning without chasing a "purpose"
• How to build a life that's useful, joyful, and yours
• Why the path that makes no sense to others might be the one that saves you
