What can you rely on?
What knowledge and skills can you take with you?

I think this line became famous not only because it speaks so precisely about families. Its meaning goes much further.
Happy periods of life often resemble one another too. When everything goes as expected, we quickly stop noticing how we live.
We go to work, raise our children, meet friends. We make decisions that seem natural because we know they worked before.
We move to another country. We lose a job. Change careers. Or simply come to feel that we can no longer go on as before.
What can you rely on?
What knowledge and skills can you take with you?
What must you leave behind?
How do you acquire new knowledge and skills?
And what do you do when you are no longer twenty, or thirty, or even fifty?
This, above all, is what this book is about.

I’ve just finished the last page. I think I’ll be reflecting on what I’ve read for some time.
The idea of recognising my own value really resonated with me. I’ve worked in sales for many years, helping customers understand the value of a product by communicating its value proposition. Yet I’ve spent far less time thinking about my own value. The book prompted me to reflect on what I contribute to the lives of those around me and how they see that contribution.
Thank you so much!
I read the book very quickly because I got completely drawn into it. I really enjoyed it: humorous, thoughtful and vivid.
The book gave me plenty to think about, but it also gave me the energy to keep moving forward, not to lose heart, and to recognize those moments of Kairos when life suddenly presents us with new opportunities.
As we get older, such moments become less frequent. But at the same time, we begin to appreciate things we once overlooked and to see the results of the time and effort we’ve invested over the years.
Thank you for the book!
After reading the book, I ordered two more copies for our company library. I’ll be recommending it to my colleagues. There’s a lot to learn from it, and it’s motivating too.
I even suggested that my daughter read it.
Perhaps you have known moments like these.
When the familiar order collapsed. When you had to start again. When old knowledge and experience suddenly stopped working.
If the book brings back stories of your own, share them with me. Or simply tell me what you thought.
