It is never too late for a happy life. In his new book, bestselling author and psychotherapist Uwe Böschemeyer has seventy-year-old Henry reflect on his life. In dialogue with his inner child, he journeys through his years from childhood to old age, examining his relationships with others as well as his thoughts and actions. A sensitive, dignified, and equally poetic contemplation of one's own past.

It is the first day of the first week of vacation. Henry is sitting on the balcony of his hotel, looking out at the sea. He recently turned 70. He was celebrated. Until now, he hasn't had the chance to reflect. Yet he has firmly resolved to let his entire life pass before him after his celebration. But this morning, he cannot find the peace he had hoped for. Not that it is loud in the hotel; it is.
