Dear Eric: I’m a 46-year-old man who is on my third career. In my past careers, I have worked myself up from the bottom to middle management roles, taking on more responsibilities than I could handle and getting fired after asking for help and having asked for added tasks to go elsewhere. I’m now in a position where I feel stuck. I have no motivation to do anything more than the bare minimum and spend each day waiting for 5 p.m.
This attitude has affected my love life as well. I used to go on dates and had a few good relationships that, in the end, didn’t work out. Now, after a few text exchanges and/or dates, I get bored and exhausted.
I’m extremely lonely, but I find myself in the same cycle of going through the motions date after date with different people.
Is there a book, exercise
