Ageing

The contradiction is absurd, the suffering is real. How can we learn to cope with it as well as possible? Is it possible to grow old and lead a fulfilling life? Elke Heidenreich has been looking into the subject of growing old. The result is a book that only she can write. Personal, honest, but never merciless, in a word: life-smart. She reflects on her own life and, above all, on her relationships with other people. In old age, you bear the consequences of everything you have done. But with it also comes serenity, and you realise: "Most things are completely unimportant. You should just breathe and be grateful.".
