When did the term 'lifestyle' come into general use?

Dear pearlrivers-ga;

Thank you for allowing me to answer your interesting question. Since
you are agreeable to my research as an answer I am simply reposting
some of the information here in order to officially close your
question:

In the late 1950's and early 1960's the term ?lifestyle? took on a new
meaning apart from one's normal "style of life" as defined by Adler,
rather it was indicative of the counterculture trends in that it was a
departure from the norm. "Lifestyle" came to mean the "intentionally
chosen" style of living or "alternative" (sometimes considered
anarchist or even deviant) way of living as a whole whether it was
widely acceptable or not, as opposed to the historically and socially
acceptable selections that normally made up one's fundamental style of
living.

ETYMOLOGY

Lifestyle is from 1929, originally a specific term used by Austrian
psychologist Alfred Adler (1870-1937); broader sense is from 1961.

In what way 'broader sense is from 1961'? where and when was it used,
do you know? Thanks

Does this work for you?

Well done, Pops, you've got me out of a hole because I couldn't have
gone any further and I was going to suggest that it was time for a
real researcher to get on the case but you beat me to it.

I always suspected that you were psychic and now I have proof that
would stand up in any court.

All the Best

Hi Pearl

As it has 'worked' for you then ...

The sporting thing would have been to ask Tutuzdad to post his Comment

It's not too late.
