Is this good for what ails your marriage, your business, or even your life? Meet Dr. Elaine Carlson and Dr. Richard Perry of Southern Maine Internal Medicine in Kennebunk, Maine.

But more important: their story of leaving big jobs in the big city, and starting over with a small business in a rural setting. In a time when big corporations have changed things—including medicine and job satisfaction—this is a tale of addressing quality of life. And these two describe a collaborative working environment that can be applied across the board. Plus, isn’t it scary to be starting over in your mid-40s, and making less money? How do you compensate for that?
