Becoming happy in old age: Self-forgetfulness helps!

Wolfgang Schmidbauer knows what he’s talking about. The phase of life known as old age can bring about uncertainties and rejection. Even he, despite being an expert, has avoided confronting his own aging for as long as possible. However, midlife is the ideal time to set a positive course and prepare for the changes that come with aging. Approaching challenges playfully and staying active helps. Schmidbauer skillfully explains how we can manage our resources more consciously. His book supports us in being neither young nor old, but simply in harmony with ourselves!.
