People in their forties and fifties begin to take stock of their lives often resulting in mid-life course changes. If you're looking for a gift for a baby boomer who has an interest in science, consider the following books:

* The Mature Mind by Gene Cohen, M.D., PH. D. - Start dancing and pick challenging leisure activities.

* The Creative Brain by Nancy Andreasen - Connections between creativity, mental illness, intelligence, and the social environment.

* In Praise of Slowness by Carl Honore - A message about hectic lives and changing gears.

* There Are No Accidents by Robert H. Hopcke - Meaningful coincidences in life.

* The Best Half of Life by David Niven, PH. D. - 100 essential ways to find and maintain happiness, health, and satisfaction every day of your life.

* Into The Wild, by Jon Krakauer - A compelling and tragic real life story about a young man who hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. KcKinley.

Give some thought to what interests the individual and consider creating a gift basket filled with books, blank journals, book light, interesting book markers, stationary and gift card to a coffee shop. Include a box of chocolates or a package of yummy cookies along with a colorful mug and varieties of coffee.
