The Missing Threshold
Why So Many Adults Never Feel Like They Have Fully ArrivedBy Dorian Halden
Length6h 14m
About this audiobook
You can have the responsibilities, the decisions, and the pressure of adulthood and still feel like it never fully began.
In The Missing Threshold, Dorian Halden explores the quiet condition of nonarrival that shapes so much of modern adult life. As traditional rites of passage weaken, stability becomes harder to build, and life sequence breaks down, more people find themselves outwardly grown up while inwardly unfinished.
This is not a book about immaturity or “adulting.” It is a sharp, serious examination of what happens when a culture still demands adult performance but no longer provides the thresholds that make adulthood feel real.
Clear, thoughtful, and psychologically exact, The Missing Threshold gives listeners a powerful new language for one of the defining pressures of modern life.
