That's a very weird title considering the actual article says pretty early on that it's the "high likelihood" of the midlife crisis that's the myth. I wonder if this is one of those things that got changed when an editor decided it needed a more eye catching title.
I agree. That's a really misleading title. They say that there is a midlife crisis that a small percentage of the population experiences. There is also midlife ennui which is nearly universal, according to the article. Distinguishing the two is not as clear by the way it's written. If midlife ennui is nearly universal, then that's what many people could be calling the midlife crisis and the reason for the new cars, leaving jobs and leaving spouses.
