THE ART OF LETTING GO - FAREWELLS THAT CARRY US FORWARD
From the End of One Chapter of Life and the Anticipation of What Lies Ahead
This is the sixth volume in the "Our Time" series.
Often we hold on to something even though we have long known that it is time to let go.
Some farewells catch us by surprise.
Others announce themselves slowly.
After the collapse of his company, the end of his marriage and emigrating to New Zealand, Bernhard Christoph Lichtinger spent seven years living in a motorhome.
For a long time, that life felt like freedom.
Until he realised that his longing had changed.
The Art of Letting Go tells the story of that transformation – and of the experience that letting go does not always mean loss. Sometimes it is precisely what creates space for whatever wishes to come next.
In calm and personal chapters, Bernhard Christoph Lichtinger writes about farewells, new beginnings, freedom, loneliness, belonging and the desire for a place where one is allowed to stay.
This book is for people who sense that a chapter of life is coming to an end.
For people who have to let go, even though they do not yet know what comes afterwards.
In this book, you will discover:
• Why farewells do not only mean loss, but are often the beginning of something new
• Why freedom and arriving do not have to be opposites
• How desires and priorities change over the course of a lifetime
• Why many people only understand what they are truly searching for through movement
• Why gratitude makes letting go easier
• How crises, setbacks and detours can give rise to a new life
• Why some dreams become smaller – and at the same time more valuable
