2024The second half of your life - a manual
Tips and strategies for successful ageing
by Dr. Petra Kiedaisch
In the middle of our lives, the cards are reshuffled: marriages are divorced, careers are questioned, friendships are ended, questions of meaning are asked, bodies change - and not just hormonally. At the same time, children leave home and parents become carers. From the age of 45, the majority of our population is at the centre of a second upheaval that affects all facets of our lives and leaves us at a loss in many ways. Not only in our daily lives, but also when it comes to planning for our own old age. This guide is designed to help us find our way. It presents the most important information from all areas relevant to a good life after 45. Leading experts from the fields of medicine, nutrition, philosophy, theology, psychology, care, law and finance give recommendations on what to look out for and what tools are needed to get through these challenging years unscathed. Useful checklists round off the articles. The book shows us the unique opportunity to see these challenges not as a crisis but as a source of strength. Not only can we come through this period of our lives healthy and happy, but we can also shape it so that the next age threshold is no longer frightening. During the second phase of adolescence, we lay the foundations for whether and how we will grow older. Be it in terms of health or living together with family and friends. With contributions from: Prof. Dr. Martin Gessmann (philosophy), Dipl. Psych. Claudia Kühner (psychology), Dr Suso Lederle (medicine), Dr Petra Forster (nutrition), Christian Hald, Anja Heine (law), Prof Dr Philipp Schreiber (finance), Prof Dr Thomas Klie (nursing care insurance), Georg Eberhardt (religion).

Catorce mil kilómetros por un gigante en transformación
by Suso Mourelo
At the end of the 20th century, Suso Mourelo, made a hiatus in his activity as a teacher, reporter and scriptwriter to undertake a trip through China that would turn his plans for the future and his life itself upside down. It traveled nearly 15,000 kilometers in all types of transport, reaching Tibetan villages in the eastern mountains, villages of ethnic minorities in the borderlands, places abandoned by development, villages anchored in tradition, and industrial centers and cities in after modernity. http://interfolio.es/Actual/Entradas/2009/10/21_ADIOS_A_CHINA.html An exceptional witness to the moments before the vertiginous change of the Asian giant, the author, thanks to his clear vision of the world and his peculiar way of traveling, draws a portrait of a China that was beginning to be what we know today, at the same time lived a China that will never return. Suso Mourelo is the author of dozens of stories, hundreds of journalistic reports, and several travel books. He has recently published The Western Frontier, The Alphabet of an Immigrant, and The Five Tombs of Genghis Khan.
