A fall from a greater height. This is what befalls Clemens Berner, a 47-year-old management consultant. His wife and daughter have moved out, and the divorce is underway. He is also under pressure at work. Everything is crumbling, falling apart for Clemens Berner. Even the ironclad beliefs of the consulting elite. What now? What to do when the worldview believed to be secure for decades slips away? What does someone do who has only known life in the fast lane? How does he find his way - in failure? And that is what this book is about - the grand, all-encompassing failure in both personal and professional life. A failure that everyone fears. Even if they are not constantly on the fast track. And it also addresses life afterward - that there is indeed life after. With everything that comes with it.
