Das kann gut werden

The art of actively entering retirement – an inspiring travel companion for all those standing on the threshold of this life phase. Longtime SPIEGEL journalist Bettina Musall is part of the Baby Boomer generation, many of whom are entering (pre-)retirement in their mid-fifties, often semi-voluntarily. This book tells the story of how she and her peers experience the transition from a structured, reliably paid, and socially respected professional life to retirement, the fears they face, but also the hopes that accompany them. It shares the experiences of people who view this life phase as a new beginning and are in search of purpose, possibly financial improvement, personal development, self-discovery, joy in life, and that happiness which gives meaning to existence.
