Anyone leaving their profession must adjust to many new aspects of life. Wunibald Müller knows from personal experience that the transition into so-called retirement is often overshadowed by the feeling of no longer being needed. How can one let go of everything that will be lost from one day to the next or has already been left behind? The theologian and psychotherapist offers an intimate and helpful insight into his own attempts to keep life moving forward: How can the necessary external and internal farewells be successfully navigated to allow for a new beginning? How can one make peace with the past? How can one confront their own mortality and consciously and mindfully shape the time gained? Numerous prompts encourage readers to design their future lives profitably.
