Midmen: The Modern Man's Guide to Surviving Midlife Crisis

Eighty percent of modern, middle-aged men are having what is known as a midlife crisis. These men represent the highest concentration of wealth, the longest terms of unemployment and (drum roll please) the highest rate of suicide. They also represent over four million inappropriate gold stud earrings, seventeen billion individual hair transplants and eight thousand miles of hairy muffin top. These are the MIDMEN.

MIDMEN is more than just an informative self help book for a growing, if rapidly balding, generation. It's a frank - okay downright rude - collection of facts, quizzes and anecdotes that offers readers a way to identify what really matters in life and get it scheduled in.

MIDMEN keeps its readers laughing as it spoon-feeds them genuine survival information. Covering areas as diverse as health, finance, family and death, MIDMEN hilariously reinforces its reader's sense of well being as they face life's second half.  

Steve Ochs, GED, rose from a teenage felon to a respected stand up comic/TV writer/producer with credits spanning from network TV to HBO and Showtime. If you're the target audience for MIDMEN, you might recognize him as a comic from his appearances on Star Search (on one show he beat Martin Lawrence... whatever happened to that guy?) or as a writer from his credits on the multi Emmy-winning Rugrats. He returned to the stage in 2011 with a one man show called "Life in the Middle Ages," which was named Best of the Hollywood Fringe and inspired the MIDMEN book, which is itself being adapted into another one man show. The high point of his career so far was having his personal hero, Richard Pryor, call him a "funny motherf*cker."
