Okay, you ready to start this show!

Your host to the evening is a really funny dude.

I forgot his last name, but I've seen him before and he's really funny.

Give it up for Mike.

Coming to you live on tape.

On tape during week 99 of quarantine.

From my 8 yearold son's bedroom in rapidly gentrifying

culver city adjacent California boasting a partially obstructed view of the

smog shrouded urban sprawl with the city of angels.

This is the Tully show.

I am your host, Mike Tully.

Joining me today, a professor of philosophy at MIT the author of several books including

the one I am currently enjoying 2017's Midlife a philosophical guide.

Hello and welcome, Karen Set to you.

Hi, it's great to be here.

So the subject of the book that I wanted to talk to you about

Mid Life, this is something that all of us will reckon with to some extent or

another. It's huge for some people for other people. It's minor. Some people will

acknowledge that they care about it. Some will pretend they don't. Some will

perhaps care about it too deeply and become mired in it, but you

wrote a book about it. So before we talk about the subject at large, what do you think it says about you

that you decided to spend some time writing that book?
