Levinson was a psychologist, he thought that during their life people go through the same predefinite "seasonal cycles", such as pre-adulthood, early adulthood, adulthood and late adulthood. The transition between these periods is often difficult, and can lead to out of character behaviour, giving an explanation to the phenomenon of "midlife crisis".
